Alet Les Bains - A medieval side street

Alet Les Bains Pictures

Medieval houses typically have overhangs. Overhangs allow you to throw out the contents of your chamberpot while slightly minimizing the possibility of drenching passers-by.

Alet Les Bain's abandoned Abbey, the origins of which is unknown, seems to have attracted many pilgrims in the 12th century and is now a very attractive ruin. For pictures see Abandoned Places - Alet Les Bains.
