Chateau Biron

This was a pivotal chateau in France during the 100 year war.  Eleanore of Aquetaine was married in the small chapel on the left.  Any more history than that and you'll have to refer to the history books.

Shingles and Stone

The old town area of Sarlat, France is very typical medieval from the 100 year war era.  Note the English wattle and daub style on the turret on the left of the house.  In this part of France you'll see this combination of architectural styles since the English and French fought over this territory for so long.  Guess they figured if they combined styles they'd please both.
