Fleurance
Fleurance is in the Gers department of the Midi-Pyrenees.
A typical bastide town of the region, Fleurance has the expected central square - edged by arcaded houses and shops.
More unusually it also has an intact market hall in the centre of the square. Most towns have lost these over the centuries; some such as Villereal in the Lot et Garonne retain them in their original form; and in the case of Fleurance, they were subsequently reconstructed in more sturdy stone (during the 19th century).
The statues in the corners of the market hall were installed at the same time as the reconstruction of the hall itself.
Other streets in the town retain the traditional grid layout of a bastide town. One other 'highlight' of the town also worth mentioning is the church, and especially its stained glass windows, dating from the early 16th century.
