Parfondeval - Saint-Médard


Parfondal, a village with a population of around 150, is one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France". It is indeed pretty - and has the best documented fortified churches I visited in the Picardie. Saint-Médard, erected almost entirely of bricks, was built in the 16th century, and got enlarged in 1760.
It was once surrounded by a wall and a ditch. It was only accessable through the gate seen here. The church (incl. the tower and the rooms for the refugees) can be visited and there are even informative videos, explaining how people lived up there over longer periods.
The "Chambre Caronet" is largest room. Note the hole/oculus in the floor, that was used for hauling up supplies - and the bell ringer as above this room are the church bells.
