Saint Paul de Vence

 Saint Paul de Vence is a small Medieval hill village in Southeastern France. It has gained it's fame for all of the small contemporary art galleries and museums situated in the village.

The architecture is very classical France. Stone built houses, with wooden shutters and iron balconies and lanterns.

Castle Combe

 Castle Combe is a small village located in Wiltshire, famously known for being untouched since built. The village contains 14th century architecture, such as The Manor House Hotel, which I was lucky enough to stay at. Photos of this are shown further down. The village was further developed in the 15th century as well. Today it is a large tourist destination, was much unspoilt architecture on show.
