秋のコルドシュルシエル、フランスの最も美しい村 / 中世の街並み / 紅葉 / 土産 / ねこ / Beautiful village in Cordes sur ciel, France

Hello everyone! This is Sayaka from quatre saisons. In late October 2025, I travelled to south-western France with my husband Matthieu. (Do take a look at our video from our previous visit to Najac too!) This time, I visited Cordes-sur-Ciel, which marks my third introduction on YouTube. We’ve arrived at Cordes-sur-Ciel. Cordes-sur-Ciel means “Cordes above the sky”. It changed its name from simply Cordes to Cordes-sur-Ciel in 1993. I spotted rose buds and was surprised that roses were still set to bloom at this time of year. I’ve posted loads of photos on social media like Instagram and X(Twitter), so do check them out! This is the third time I’m introducing Cordes sur Ciel on YouTube. (I’ll just call it Cordes from here on.) It’s a shame it was raining, but it’s stopped now. The autumn colours are beautiful. There’s a spot here where you could hide. This is outside the city walls, so it’s an easy path to walk on. However, if you go inside the walls, the path becomes stone-paved, so it’s slippery and you need to walk carefully. The sun is coming out. I can hear a bell ringing. It only rang once, so I thought it was 13:00, but it was actually half past eleven. We managed to park here. However, this area is one-way, so getting here was tricky. A patch of blue sky appeared! I hope it stays like this and doesn’t rain. We could have parked on this street, but we didn’t know how to get here. About seven years ago, when I passed through here, I heard someone practicing karaoke. We can see a guitar through the window. Could the timing be any better! The bus just arrived. We’re lucky to see that. Even in late October, the flowers (roses) are very beautiful. Is a gardener tending them? The autumn leaves clinging to the stone wall are lovely. This is the Porte de la Jane. It’s the entrance to the fortified town, known as a bastide. Impressive! From here, the stones of the path we’ve been walking on change! They’re slippery, so we must be careful. This bastide (fortified town) of Cordes-sur-Ciel was founded in 1222 by Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse, making it one of the first bastides in the region. Consequently, people began gathering here in greater numbers. The thriving trade in textiles (cloth, woollen fabrics) and leather led to the town’s astonishing growth. During its golden age, roughly from 1280 to 1350, wealthy merchants and noble families built Gothic-style mansions with lavishly decorated façades. To accommodate the rapidly increasing population, work was also undertaken to extend and reinforce the fortifications. We head towards the village centre via the Portes des Ormeaux. There are two streets; which shall we take? We shall take the street on the right, the Grand Rue Raimond VII (Rue Raymond VII). (We shall take the left one on the way back.) This is the House of the Grand Écuyer, built during the golden age of Cordoba in the 14th century. Influential figures, nobles, and wealthy merchants built such opulent residences along the main thoroughfare, influenced by Gothic and Italian styles. There was a lovely café. The tourist information office used to be in this building on the left, but apparently it has moved. It had relocated further down this street. Matthieu had really liked this patisserie, where we stopped to buy biscuits on our previous visit, so we decided to return later. First, we’ll head to the church before it closes. Unfortunately, it wasn’t open. The tourist information centre told us the church opens in the afternoon, so we’ll return later. Just then, we hear the bells ringing to mark noon. There was the restaurant where we had lunch eight years ago, on our first visit to Cordes. Looking at the menu brought back memories of that visit, making me feel nostalgic. Lunch was apparently served until 14:00, so I decided to return later. The rain gradually began to fall again. We entered a shop I’d wanted to visit last time but hadn’t managed to get into! Inside, there were lots of unfamiliar foods and items, which made me feel excited! They had my favourite Cordes croquant biscuits! Plenty of local beers! The designs were all very cute. Saffron beer was available too! That’s quite unique. The building housing this shop looked very old. It seems it was once a wine cellar. It was whisky made in a village roughly halfway between Albi and Cordes-sur-Ciel. This is a Gâteau à la Broche, a slightly firm cake, a bit like a Baumkuchen. There was also locally produced honey and jam. He said it stays open until 18:00, so we decided to come back after strolling around the village. After returning from our walk later, we’ll come back again to do some shopping. He was agonising over which beer to buy. Perhaps it’s the weather, but autumn sees quite a drop in tourists. The hotel we stayed at when we visited two years ago. It brings back memories. I’d love to stay there again someday. Passing through the Porte de Rous, the path now descends steadily. This is the Porte du Vainqueur. The view from here is splendid. There aren’t many high mountains around here, are there? The Tarn region, where Cordes is located, is apparently known as the Tuscany of Occitanie. A little sunshine is peeking through! The Clock Gate (Porte de l’Horloge). I adore this gate and always take numerous photos and videos here. I’m filming from here, but I’m walking rather slowly as I’m afraid of slipping. Sorry. I enter this Chapel of Capelette. Cordes is one of the pilgrimages stop to Santiago de Compostela, and this small chapel was built in the 16th century for pilgrims. The chapel was restored by the painter Yves Brayer, who stayed in Cordes from 1940 to 1942. As it had started raining again, we decided to head back to the restaurant. I’ll have sparkling water, Matthieu will have beer for our toast. This place had Matthieu’s favourite beer, RATZ! It’s a fruity, easy to drink beer. I’m scared I might drink too much! At 7.2% ABV, it’s quite strong for a beer! Our lunch has arrived! Matthieu ordered pasta topped with foie gras sausage and porcini mushroom sauce. I thought it might be a bit strong, but he said you first taste the sausage, then a subtle hint of foie gras comes through. To me, the sausage flavour was quite strong, and I couldn’t really taste the foie gras, though I could sense a little foie gras in the texture. Beneath the poêlé foie gras was the same pasta as Matthieu’s, topped with porcini mushroom sauce. It was slightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and melted deliciously in the mouth. This restaurant also produces foie gras, and it seems selling foie gras is their main business. And on top of the foie gras was a truffle sauce. We returned to this shop and bought these. We’ve already eaten most of the Croquant de Cordes ! Matthieu was buying souvenirs for his family at the biscuit shop. This time, the church was open! The Southern Gothic-style Saint-Michel Church was constructed between 1263 and 1281, with its main sections completed in 1287. However, by the mid-14th century, it was on the verge of collapse. Consequently, the city magistrates authorised its dismantling and reconstruction. The new nave was completed by the end of the 15th century, and the roof was rebuilt in 1568 following a fire during the Wars of Religion. We’ll head to the Jane Gate, which we passed on the way here. La Poste (post office) van sped past at tremendous speed. As if waiting for Matthieu, there was a cat! Unfortunately, the cat had already left. We went to Cordes-sur-Ciel this time. The rain had stopped again. Although it rained on and off today, our timing was good, and we managed to visit all the places we wanted to see. We’re now heading to our next destination, about a 30-minute drive away. Right then, we’re off to that place now! Actually, on our way back, we happened to find a spot where lots of cats gather. There were as many as six cats at this spot. The kitties showed absolutely no interest in us. The kitties were waiting for the door of this house to open. This madam was feeding these cats. These cats are all strays, and some became strays after their owners passed away or moved away. Good for the kitties that they can get fed thanks to the kind lady. My next video will introduce the town we visited next. It’s scheduled for release in December. Thank you for watching this video right to the end. See you in the next time!
