A castle!

Perched on a hill above nearby Montpeyroux are the ruins of a castle. On a sunny day last week Al and I decided to go up there and take a look at it, stopping at the renowned Caveau at Monpeyroux for a few bottles of their excellent Totem wines.
The wine shop lady gave us directions (in French - we are getting better at understanding now) and we had a lively discussion about what you are and are not allowed to carry in cabin baggage on planes - also in French.

Anyway we turned right at the Place du Village and parked just outside the tiny hamlet of Le Barry, where the church was undergoing repairs (photo below).



Up the hill we went, for about 20 minutes, and were rewarded with beautiful views like this, looking back onto Le Barry and Montpeyroux



And this, looking up to the hills



And this, over the vineyards and orchards on the plains
