Rabastens even has a UNESCO World Heritage building – Notre Dame du Bourg, a 13th century church. Those who are walking the Camino de Santiago (the Le Puy-en-Velay route), usually opt to visit here if they’re lucky enough to find it open. In fact, Rabastens is the place where I first heard of the Camino and where I first said that I must do that walk one day. I still remember the first time I saw the painted shell on the road! Who knew that snapping a picture of that shell was a sign of things to come…











Such a lovely looking town, there’s so much history and charm in your pictures!
I always thought myself it would be wonderful to live in a small, historic town like this, but I always wonder, does it work long term? Do people wake up and see the quaint countryside and feel great about it every day, or is there just a point where even the loveliest locale becomes mundane? I hope I’m just being cynical!
I wonder the same thing but I like to believe that I’d love it!
Excellent photos of this most charming village. You made us all want to live in such a place!
Thanks, Marilyn! May one day we can live in such a place 🙂
Charming!
Thanks, Lex!
