Four Fine French Villages
France offers such a lot to holiday makers, not only in the towns but also in its many villages. Covered with medieval style architecture and roads, the towns in France are a few of the most pretty in the world. If you're planning a visit to rural France for a short holiday break, to buy property or a vineyard for sale in France, here are some of the villages you may want to definitely consider.
Saint Gaultier
one of many villages that were fortified in medieval times, the village is set on the banks of the river Creuse. The village derives its name from Abbe Gaultier, who also has a 1000 years church named after him. The village of Saint Gaultier still keeps the same roads and buildings that were built during the medieval times.
Gargilesse
Perched on a hill-top, Gargilesse was for ages - and still is - the favourite haunt for craftsmen, artists and writers, particularly the legendary French writer Lucile Aurore Dupin. The place where she lived is now a museum and is open to visitors. The village also hosts the flower and farm market each year in May and a book festival in September. The castle and the Romanesque church are the most important structures in the entire village around that the many houses of the village are set.
Carcassonne
Along with the Italian town of Lucca, Carcassonne is one of the most noted fortified places in Europe. Noted on the World Heritage List of UNESCO since 1997, earliest records of the village date back the 5th or 6th century B. C, when it was occupied by Gaulish settlements. With two rings of town walls and over 50 towers, Carcassonne is a vibrant tourist attraction. The area will be interesting to wine buffs looking out for french property to buy.
Tranzault
A small village in Central France, Tranzault is well known for the festival of pumpkins and rare plants that it conducts each and every year during the month of October. For the people who have a love of rural life and rare vegetables, the village of Tranzault is an absolute must visit.
