Ridley Scott's connection to the town of Monpazier is underscored by two significant films he made there, showcasing its charm as a picturesque film set. Founded in 1284 by Edward I, Monpazier features stunning bastide architecture, including a central square framed by beautifully lit stone buildings. The Dordogne region has attracted many visitors, especially from the UK, garnering the nickname 'Dordogne-shire.' Despite its growing popularity across the English Channel, the Dordogne remains lesser-known among North American travelers due to limited direct flight access to major airports nearby.
Ridley Scott's affinity for Monpazier is evident, having filmed twice there, capturing the town's charming medieval aesthetics that have drawn filmmakers and tourists alike.
Monpazier, founded by Edward I in 1284, remains a prime example of bastide architecture, with its central square framed by stunning golden stone buildings.
