Castelnaud - One of our first medieval villages/forts
Our drive around the countryside led us to Castelnaud (http://castelnaud.com/en/) , a little medieval village on a hill. These are always on a damn hill which is good for both defense back in the day and for us tourists to work off some of the calories ingested in our modern age, here in the land of the eternal foie gras.
Remarkable (as are all the medieval villages) and historic, it struck me how much time, effort and ingenuity us humans have dedicated to the pursuit of killing each other and destroying things.
