Travel: Most beautiful Villages in Provence
I am often asked which villages are a must see in Provence since there are so many of them. It is very difficult to make a selection as they all have their charms. Here is a list of the ones I really like. Some are along the cost and some are in the countryside. I indicated the name of the village and the name of the "departement" (region) where it is located:
L'Isle sur la Sorgue (Vaucluse) : very well-known for its antiques shops
Les Baux de Provence (Bouches du Rhone) : a must see, really
Gordes (Vaucluse)
Tourtour (Var)
Eygalieres (Bouches du Rhone) : the queen of the Alpille region
St Remy de Provences (Bouches du Rhone) : another must-see with its romano grecque ruines, 1000 sheeps festival in April
Cassis ((Bouches du Rhone)
Sault : Lavender festival in august (usually the 15th)
Moustiers ( Alpes de Haute Provence) : known for well-known handpainted faience: see my previous post on it. you can see some of their products on my website at http://www.sophiedepons.com/
St Tropez
Le Castellet (Var) : you will love its numerous shops and lovely streets
Entrevaux ( Alpes de Haute Provence)
Cotignac ( Var)
Roussillon: the "red" village
