So these are the last of my pictures from Peyre, which as you will know from my posts over the past few days is a troglodyte village. Obviously not all of the houses are built into the cliffs but the higher up the side of the hill they are. The focus of today's pictures are the two churches in the village.
In the first picture the church can be seen as the highest building to the right, with two angular projections and the top of the arched door just visible above the nearby rooftops.
The second picture shows a small grotto with a natural spring built into the wall of the old church. the water constantly flows into the trough just outside.
The third picture shows the interior of the church with the natural rock forming the main wall and the roof, with a stone built exterior wall on the left. It was really an intriguing structure.
The final picture shows the "modern" church obviously built to meet the needs of a growing community.
I really enjoyed our brief visit to this small village and I hope that you have enjoyed it too from the pictures I have shared.
