This tiny commune is a lovely flash back to days gone by. Built in 1222, it’s now famous for its outdoor market. Tourists love spending the day here, although because of the rainy day that I went on, there was hardly a soul in the streets. There’s nothing better than walking the ancient streets alone (well, with my guide), as if transformed back to the 13th century. Lots of gothic architecture survives from the 13th and 14th centuries and the storefronts are so quaint. As Albert Camus said: “In Cordes, everything is beautiful, even regret”.Photo: Quaint shopfront in Cordes-sur-Ciel
