France's Most Beautiful Villages - France Travel Guide
Take a tour of France's Most Beautiful Villages -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
I'd like to show you the Most Beautiful Villages of France:
Embodying France's natural ethereal beauty is the village of Gordes. Engulfed by luxuriant countryside and green hills, it has been deemed one of ''The most beautiful villages of France''. Enshrouded by houses made of stone and terracotta roof tiles, the village exudes warmth and rustic charm.
Overlooking a river gorge, the magnificent town of Rocamadour is built into a nearly sheer cliff face. A historical site of pilgrimage and a place of holy relics, Rocamadour is lit with medieval history. Famous for its monastic buildings and gorgeous churches, the village is among the most sought after French destinations.
The French village of Honfleur has earned a reputation as an artist's town over time. Its timber framed houses adorned with gray facades and cafe terraces endow it with a marked essence of uniqueness. Lovely harbor views coupled with great architecture and weather makes it a beautiful and ethereal holiday destination.
La Roque-Gageac is an amiable village enveloped in the serene waters of the
Dordogne. Compelling town sites include its riverside houses, narrow alleys, and manicured gardens all of which are absolutely delightful. A fortified village in the medieval era, it is beset with archaic manors and enthralling cliffs.
Eguisheim is a quaint village close to the German border. The characteristic narrow, cobble-stoned streets and alleyways strengthen Equisheim's stature as a resplendent medieval town. Due to its proximity to the German lands, a resolute German influence is evident in its language, architecture, and culture.
Sarlat la Canéda and the Dordogne Region of France
Sarlat la Caneda is located in the Dordogne region of France. It is less visited than more popular regions like Provence or Burgundy.
When dreaming of France, I imagine myself sitting in Luxembourg Gardens, strolling along the River Seine, through the narrow streets of the Latin Quarter, drinking strong coffee in the afternoon. No agenda, just walking, looking, tasting, smelling, enjoying. Of course, there is more to France than Paris. The honey colored buildings in the medieval town of Sarlat, create a warm welcoming feeling. The Dordogne region is know for it's gourmet specialties and the Sarlat Saturday Market is the place to find them. I spent the morning strolling from vendor to vendor, putting together the pieces...some creamy goat cheese, ripe red tomatoes, fresh tarragon, cod from the fishmonger...for that evening's feast. The surrounding country side is scenic and peaceful. The river side town of Vitrac has several canoe rental companies. It is an easy float down the Dordogne River, drifting by villages and ending in tiny Beynac. The village is built into the hillside and topped by 12th century gray stoned chateau. The hike up is steep but well worth it for the wide open view of the river valley. France has an abundance of bike trails. We rented from Bike Bus in Castelnaud. The owner, Joel, gave us some great local advice and a map. The ride to Daglan, through woods and fields, was easy and almost car free. Bring a sandwich, maybe some wine (actually definitely some wine) and stop for a picnic lunch along the river bank. What is it about travel that makes the ordinary...a taste of cheese, the ringing of a church bell, the smell of a fire burning in a chimney...seem extraordinary? I don't know but I will keep trying to find out.
Bike Tour of France
Named one of the Top 50 Tours of a Lifetime by National Geographic! On this Bike Tour of France, we cycle along country lanes and discover that every trail reveals a fantastic scene from traditional France: timeless villages of golden stone, hilltop castles shining like visions from a medieval tale, and towering oak forests where a knight on a white horse might not look out of place. The full cultural immersion in this corner of France is facilitated by the amazing enchanting towns visited and included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site List, like Saint-Emilion in Bordeaux area and Albi and Carcassonne. Bergerac zone and Sarlat represent also another great surprise if you have never been in the area called Perigord, situated in the Dordogne Departement.
The list of activities range from two wine tastings, a canoe ride on the Dordogne river, a visit to the Museum of Toulouse Lautrec in Albi and the guided visits of Castelnaud Castle, prehistoric site of Cap Blanc in Dordogne and historic center and fortress of Carcassonne.
This bike tour of France has been beautifully tailored to peel back the layers of history, while savoring the gastronomy and the French life style in the southwest, also from the vantage point of our saddle to really feel immersed in the nature, looking for the right rhythm to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience in this unforgettable corner of Europe.
Dramatic 2,000 Year Old Cahors, France
Cahors has an ultra-dramatic location, contained on three sides within a U-shaped bend in the River Lot. It is the chief city of the Lot and was founded 2,000 years ago by the Romans.
Today Cahors is perhaps best known as a famous wine center. Wander around the narrow streets in the old section with medieval houses, Baroque doorways, and Secret Gardens then sit down in a cafe or along the Lot River to watch the world go by.
