It's hard to know where to begin in showing you this beautiful village. Everywhere you look there is beauty and most of all age - you can feel the history in the very stones of this village. Here you see Rue Moncollet - yes, it really is a street that cuts through the rock.
Rue Moncollet is the oldest street in the village and dates back to the 10th century. It's a long narrow street with stepped passageways and is filled with houses from the Middle Ages, many with barred windows.
We have walked just a few metres from the square we were in yesterday.

Looks as though you're walking into a cave!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
What a fascinating place this turned out to be. So common and ordinary to you and so quaint and different to me.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever watch the Dog Whisperer? I love that show.
Ooh, Jilly, this is charming. Thanks for taking us to the Rue Moncollet today. I'm excited about seeing more of Roquebrune.
ReplyDeleteCharming indeed, Jilly. Looks like a very beautiful place. Happy New Year Jilly.
ReplyDeleteRoquebrune looks actually a beautiful village!

Jilly, this is awesome. I can't get over what a wonderful place this is, and what a great job you do of showing us around. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteOh, do take us down that street! Using a phrase from my caving days.....Does it go? It looks to me like it ends with a door.
