#springwander The mediaeval market city of Provence, which retains a shadow of the mediaeval in the beautiful rural landscape. This was once the capital of the Count of Champagne, and the city where the big market was held. The holding of a large market where many traders traded across borders and bought and sold woollen fabrics, precious metals, spices, etc. brought huge wealth to merchants. In order to protect them from bandits and invasions from other countries, they protected the city with heavily guarded gates and solid walls with double doors.
