Libourne

Libourne is at the confluence of two tidal rivers in the Southwest of France, the Dordogne and the Isle. 

It was formed in the 13th century under the authority of King Edward I of England.  Today it is the center of wine-making in this region,

This is the Gate of the Port, with a machicolated tower, a survivor of the 14th century defensive walls.





 On Tuesdays, there is a market in the main square, the Place Abel Surchamp.

I like the reflections and rhythm of your first photo. The market photos are fine. Did you buy yourself a new hat at that stand? Looks like they had some good ones.

Also one of the places with a lot of Bordeaux merchants
