The journey to villages down the middle of France.
When most people think of France, they think of Paris, Marseilles, Dijon, or Bordeaux. But there is a different side to France once you get off the main highways and into the back roads and that is the village part of France.
Driving from Luxembourg to Andorra a friend and myself took the back roads and boy did they impress. Many of these villages had probably been there for hundreds of years but a lot of them were deserted. Whether it was because of the holiday season and people go to the cities or because there is not a lot work around there remains unknown.
I however took the chance over a few days to photograph some of theses places with very few shops open and even fewer people walking around. Sometimes places like these makes me think that maybe there is still a simple life to be lived somewhere out of the hustle and bustle of the cities…..
