The Loveliest Picturesque Towns In France

Chablis (Burgundy)

Renowned for its fruitful vines, the village of Chablis is much more than a place to peacefully get drunk in the shades of the orchard. It is also a place of history.

Montpeyroux (Auvergne)

A half-hour car drive northwest from Montpellier rises the mysterious walled enclosure of the village of Montpeyroux.

Batz-sur-mer (Loire-Atlantique)

The Breton peninsula of Batz-sur-Mer juggles between the Atlantic Ocean and 459 hectares of salt marshes.

Pont-Aven (Brittany)

Pont-Aven is nestled at the bottom of the estuary of the Aven river on the south coast of Finistère. The village is famous for its painting school and its Breton cookies.

Cargèse (Corsica)

The village of Cargèse is an astonishing mix of Greek and Latin rites. It is the only Corsican municipality to host two churches of different denominations and only a few meters apart.

Hunspach (Grand Est)

The architectural harmony of Hunspach is a fantastic aspect to discover in this historic village. Its houses consist of half-timbered frames and their inhabitants adorn the windows with red geraniums.

Pierrefonds (Hauts-de-France)

Pierrefonds is a castle town but not just that! The village attracts several thousand curious visitors each year.

Giverny (Normandy)

The choice of Giverny as one of France's most enchanting towns is obvious. This village is the Norman cradle of the famous French painter Claude Monet, one of the great Impressionists.

Ménerbes (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur)

The village of Ménerbes lies at the top of a rocky outcrop and is perfectly integrated into the wild regional natural park that surrounds it.
