We are fortunate to live on the outskirts of one of the most beautiful villages in France.It is full of village houses with 3 or 4 floors and terraces on the top. These are situated on small meandering streets adorned with beautiful flowering plants.
In the centre there is a Pertanque area where the locals play and chat. This is surrounded by a Tabac and bakery. Also in the village are many great restaurants, estate agents that are too numerous to count, a butchers a hairdressers, assorted pottery and clothing shops and of course many art galleries.
In the summer this is a hive of activity but in the winter it is all pretty much deserted as a majority of the homes are for holidays and it leaves it with a really deserted look.
Above the village is a beautiful chateau, around which they have concerts on a Tuesday night and also they have musicians touring the streets or performing in the central car park.
Of course this is just in summer. The rest of the time the village life goes on as it always has, awaiting the summer onslaught!!
