LA BASTIDE DE BEAUMONT-DU-PERIGORD


This bastide (a fortified town) is one of the largest in the Dordogne area.  It was established in 1272 by Edward I of England.

When walking through its narrow streets and alley ways, one can only imagine what the ancient walls have witnessed in the past 700 years!
