Quercy - Saint-Cirq Lapopie 1




" Par delà bien d’autres sites - d’Amérique, d’Europe Saint-Cirq a disposé sur moi du seul enchantement : celui qui fixe à tout jamais. J’ai cessé de me désirer ailleurs. Je crois que le secret de sa poésie s ‘apparente à celui de certaines Illuminations de Rimbaud, qu’il est le produit du plus rare équilibre dans la plus parfaite dénivellation des plans. Ses toits, c’est toi.
L’énumération de ses autres ressources est très loin d’épuiser ce secret."
André Breton



Le village de Saint-Cirq Lapopie, accroché sur une falaise surplombant les berges de près de 100 mètres constitue l’un des sites majeurs de la vallée du Lot.
Chef-lieu de l’une des quatre vicomtés du Quercy, Saint-Cirq Lapopie fut partagé au Moyen-Age entre quatre dynasties féodales, les Lapopie, les Gourdon, les Cardaillac et les Castelnau. De ce fait, plusieurs châteaux et maisons fortes constituaient le fort de
Lapopie et dominaient le village.

Le temps est gris certes, mais la beauté est omniprésente.

The village of Saint-Cirq Lapopie, perched on a cliff overlooking the banks nearly 100 meters is one of the major sites of the Lot valley.
Chief town of one of the four viscounts Quercy, Saint-Cirq Lapopie was shared in the Middle Ages between four feudal dynasties, the Lapopie, the Gourdon, the Cardaillac and the Castelnau. As a result, several large houses and castles were the highlight of Lapopie and dominated the village.

Photo chronicle of a winter trip.
The weather is gray, but beauty is everywhere.
