I don't know why...

..... whenever I walk past this view I have the impression of a little French town, possibly somewhere in Île-de-France.  

I really have no idea why or where this impression comes from.  A picture I've seen, a book I've read?   Some kind of mental imprint....

Anyway, best not to try to hard to make sense of any of that.   Any town, anywhere, with a wee corner like this at its heart is very lucky.   Including Peebles.
