TravelerVery beautiful! We've visited lots of the villages listed on Les-plus-beaux-villages-de-france.org and visited some incredibly beautiful places (we are staying in one today at Auvillar)
TravelerYes its incredible how many there are, we visited quite a few last year, looking forward to visiting many more on this trip, we do prefer the smaller town/ villages with character. This one definitely ticks all the boxes, we are on our own tonight and the weather is beautiful. Thanks for the link to the website 😃
