Same region. Some might see that there is a need for paint, etc. But I think it just adds to the character. The friends we stayed with have a house built in the 15th century!

I love all your photo's you capture the sense of the place somehow. I completely agree about the character of French buildings being enhanced by the peeling paint and the shutters hanging off etc., If they were all painted up and repaired, I feel it would be like plastic surgery for buildings, trying to hide the wrinkles, and somehow looking false and losing their character, but then I don't have to live in them.

I did read a story about the French attitude to houses many years ago, and it went along the lines that if the roof collapsed or a wall crumbled, they moved into another part of the building which still had a roof and a sound wall :)

Yes, love the French buildings! I posted one of my France photos of a sad looking doorway and a comment was - it needs paint. No, it had character.

Thought this would be a good place to add our photos of Anywhere in Europe that you have taken on your travels .

There will be a lot of Spain from me because I have a home there and my daughter also lives there

This is a street view of the tiny little village nearest to where my daughter lives in Southern Spain..

Thank you Merlin

Mi Casa is on the Costa Blanca in a small village a few KM's south of Alicante ....( I'd rather not say on a Public forum where it is precisely)

My daughter OTOH lives in the Mountains close to Malaga..on the Costa del Sol...and unlike me not near the coast..:D
