shutters and rose, Camon, a commune in the Ariège department of France



the small village of Camon, founded by Charlemagne,  lies in the foreground of the dramatic Abbaye-Chateau which dates back to the 10th century – now open as a boutique hotel
the village is surrounded by parts of its two sets of walls (14c and16c)
it is best known locally for its annual  rose festival - a recent revival of a former tradition that has seen every household in Camon receive a rose bush as a gift from the mairie
