Tuesday Photo Challenge: Surprise
We’d never been to Perigueux before. We were expecting to see some old buildings but it was quite a surprise to find one hanging in mid-air just outside our hotel down by the river.
It’s known as the ‘eschif’, which translates – rather gloomily – as ‘scaffold’. It was constructed in the first half of the 14th century to straddle the protective wall on which it appears to balance precariously and act as a look-out post. That door isn’t terribly practical now.

Really surprising – what a great find! 🙂
Surprising and surreal! I can’t imagine that it has been perched there for centuries. A treasured picture, indeed,
