Saint-Sulpice-le-Dunois, 23800 Fr.

Church and State! Here is the church seen from the main street, and you can see the way that it is the most prominent building in this part of town. The tower was built at the beginning of the 15thC, as much for a fortification as for religious purposes, and indeed, for some time it served as a prison during the middle ages, as well as the base camp of the feudal lord and his entourage!

The houses are much later, 18thC I guess, and the one nearest us actually has a pathway to the church running beneath the bedrooms, although there are the remains of what I think was an old bakery behind, so maybe it was the baker's house - who knows!
