Isn't this a lovely view? This is the view from the Bed & Breakfast we stayed in near Roanne. St, Jean-St. Maurice. France is full of these little hillside villages. One of my favorite past-times in France is to explore these old villages ...
This was a painting on the side of one of the houses. In the skies [See that speck above the tower in the 1st picture? That's a hawk), you'd always see a bird-of-prey soaring. At home, it's a big deal to see one. CL said, it's not like they can farm these hills Monsanto-style. They are only good for sheep ... so the birds have not been killed off by pesticides. Good point!
Another scene from the village.
Another view of the tower ...
The tower the town is working to restore.

This is the exact B&B we stayed in. They are listed in the Green Guide (Michelin), and a worthy stop on your trip! The owner's have a view of a lovely lake, so be sure to take breakfast and visit with the owners. Very nice people!
The "front" door to the B&B where the owners lived. Our room was a completely restored building across the street.
Another view from the village.
Grape vines covered our building.
More old stones ...
