Provence, France: Gourdon 17 September 2007

I will own up right now... the following text I have borrowed from http://www.beyond.fr/villages/gourdon.html. I know it is slack but I am so far behind I am sure you will all forgive me.

Gourdon is an ancient perched village, and it is really perched. It sits on the
edge of a rocky spur that juts out about 500m directly above the Loup river
where the Gorges du Loup comes out at the Pont-du-Loup village. (The population,
by the way, includes the people living in Pont-du-Loup, 360 m straight down
below Gourdon.)
