Probably my favorite photo of Brouages, showing the walls and three watch towers. The red flowers on the right are actually growing on the edge of the wall, and below them are an abrupt drop off about 15 feet high. The tiny towers would have held one or two people, and had slits in the walls for shooting at the enemy. You can also see the 5 foot wide ditch down below that runs completely around the town.
