A village from a painting

The first Sunday I was in Malans, Pauline's family took me to see Ornans, which is literally a town out of a painting. This famous artist guy, Gustave Courbet, lived there and painted all the scenery, as well as the ordinary people.



This is Eglise St Laurent, very beautiful.

The town


The view from the Chateau that isn't really a chateau.

Me at the "Chateau"







Often called Little Venice, the river Loue runs throughout the entire town.

Here are some pics of my favorite paintings inside the Courbet museum.











I'd have to say that this one is my favorite.


Oh and sorry about the picture quality. it's hard to take pictures of pictures in a museum with bad lighting and no flash.
