Snails - a French delicacy (Monpazier/FR)

The Dordogne, a department in south-west France, is known for its prehistoric cave paintings. But the area is also rich in fossils such as marine shellfish, squid, sea urchins, crabs, lobsters, and even dinosaurs from the Upper Cretaceous (90-66 million years ago). These fossils provide a unique insight into the world of that time, when the area was a tropical sea with a rich biodiversity.

These are fossils finds of French snails (a small note explained). For a less long time ago but still today a popular national delicacy with garlic and butter.

Monpazier: Shopping
The small village Monpazier, a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in the past centuries, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates remain and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.
