First, a warm welcome to the new subscribers and thanks for registering. I am still writing an eye, since not. 2 Tok Place a few days ago, successful, I am pleased to add. However, for another couple or week, this imposes limitations on what I can do.
So this week, I will return to my photo files. Approximately 15 years of the life of this blog, I have written many times about the local town of Parisot (Tarn-Et-Ggaronne), but I have never put you on a trip. By the way, there is another Paris in the Tarn, confusingly.
You could easily miss this little town in the northeastern corner of the departmentBut that would be a shame. Parisot offers interesting and fantastic rural views.
Small but vibrant
Parisot has only 559 inhabitants (2022 census), less than a third of its maximum population of 1,730 in 1866. However, there are many things. At the beginning of his mandate, a former Maire promised to establish a medical center, a library, a cafeteria and a weekly market. Hey achieved all four. The people also organize an annual art fair and a Franco-British literary festival. Works of art festivals below.
We begin in the parking lot in the center of the town. This used to be LE FOIRAIL (Fairgrounds), since Parisot once had a cattle market. Coffee is at one end. The memorial war is in the middle, revealing the litany of the loss that is so common in the French villages, especially the worldwriter.
Upper and lower village
From here, Walk stays with Mairie along one of the two parallel streets that lead to the oldest part of Parisot. Private houses, some with Bois pans (Half mothers) Facadas, directly to this street, which was the main commercial street than Puerta de la Calle.
In the Middle Ages, the people, two different parts: the upper village protected within the fortified walls. This is the removal gateway, the Porte de Genebrière.
Opposite to the entrance door is I find her (The Market Hall). This dates back at least 13Th Century and still contains original grain measures. The building was rebuilt in 1881.
Château de l’Astorguié
A little later, we arrive at Le Château de l’Sstorgui, privately owned. This little fortress was built around 1500. It was owned by the illustrious family of the Valette, whose biggest rod, Jean Parisot of the Vallette, was a great teacher of the Malta Order, a famous military commander.
In the past, Centifolia de RosaRecognized for its aroma, it was grown on the land of Château. The women of the town collected the flowers early in the morning with the dew still clinging to them. The petals get used to perfume.
The Château was on the market when we were caciando properties 28 years ago. Then, I was in bad conditions, but even beyond our price range. The subsequent owners saw their potential and completely restored him to his former glory, Althehehetay lacks some of the original fortifications.
Ancient Citadel
In front of the Château, we take the alley to L’Eglise Saint-Andéol, which is in a delicious place in the upper part of the town. This 14Th-16Th Century Church has good acoustics. I have sung there in coral concerts many times over the years.
Now we are in the oldest part of Parisot. Next to the Church are the remains of the old citadel, which dates back to the times of Gallo. The original walls and a tower remain, undoubtedly restored considerably.
Now called Le Belvére, this huge area is an esplanade that offers excellent panoramic views of the undulating green field. It is not a place to be when the wind blows nails from the southwest. From there, you realize how heavy the area is forested. A century ago, much of the earth would have grown.
From there, we walk through the southern lane, where it is hot and protected enough to grow olive and palm trees. We leave the old part of the town and take the steep hill, conforms to the salle des fêtes and the library, back to the parking lot.
Parisot lac
We can leave Parisot without looking at the lake, now a Loisirs base. This artificial structure was created in the 1970s when representing the small Seye river that flows to Aveyron about 15 km away.
Surrounded by green hills and planted with willows and oaks, the lake is home to a variety of birds and aquatic animals. Ducks, cormorants and the occasional heron, which look like a pterodactyl, discuss and feed in their waters. It is a good place to walk on a spring or autumn day. In July and August, the commune charges a rate to enter if it is not a resident of Parisot.
Like so many small peoples, Parisot reveals its secrets if you take the time to look.
