Continuing the series, I am not sure why but I find it wonderful that nearly every small village in the south of France has plenty of room between the otherwise packed streets for little parks like this. It begs the question, how exactly did this type of landscape architecture develop?

Continuing the series, previously I showed a man-made ornamental street canal adorning the largest boulevard in the French Provence town of Cavaillon,
Many towns and villages have such man-made ornamental canals, so at first I thought nothing of this until I saw the following historical sign:
It’s a bit difficult to read at this resolution, but basically it points to this boulevard as a center for hydraulic power that drove a significant industry in this town,
I’ll also show an expanded view of the figures:
So, except for this historical sign, there is nothing really remaining in the town that would inform visitors like me that Cavaillon was once a quite important manufacturing village, relying strongly on hydropower.
