Les Montils is a lovely little town, but you need to get out and walk it to see the best of it.

Irises, squeezed into a tiny bed designed to protect a house on a tight corner.

 |
A well used back entrance to a quite grand property.
|
 |
A well established Orange Trumpet Vine Pyrostegia venusta (Fr. la Liane aurore) which covers a pergola in the garden behind this wall.
|
 |
One of the two medieval gateways into the town. The other has been destroyed.
|
 |
Doesn't everyone have an astronomical observatory attached to their house?!
|
 |
Perennial favourites, Pierre de Ronsard climbing rose one side of the steps, lavender the other.

That's one hell of a chimney stack on the grand property...
Is that tetragon spinach growing at the feet of Pierre de Ronsard?
Lovely irises, my favorite flower. Interesting little village.
chm, it looks like a salvia to me. I don't think you'd want to eat this one; the smell would put you off.
Lol, Carolyn, thank you. In my youth we used to eat tetragon spinach often. Here, I should have said giant tetragon spinach!!
