Architecture in Hyeres.

The old town, built in the god-knows-whens, is very fortress like. Small streets, thick thick walls, lots of stone, tiny windows. As the city grew, the architecture changed. The styles get more and more modern in rings around the old fortified city. The top picture is a residence a few block outside the old walls. The bottom picture is a relatively new structure built to match the part of the city it's in. It is lovely and I never realized that it was new until Loralyn pointed it out to me.
