My visit to the medieval village of St Guilhem le Desert

The school organised this trip for Friday afternoon. One hour by coach brought us to this beautiful village with its medieval abbey and houses. I met a lady there who is 80 years old, still living in her own home on the second level. No lifts in middle ages buildings. The river flows under the houses, like a stream really, then grows into the river you see in the photos. The weather was beautiful, 31 degrees and sunny. Our guide, Jean-Paul, was the first in the river and we were quick to follow for a well earned swim.
