Far from the bustle of the cities, small towns preserve wonderful landscapes which are feast to the eyes. Waterfalls, lakes, rivers and seas have often carved these villages, giving them a unique\u00a0character as they represent the diversity of the French countryside<\/p>

Discover the divine timbered facades in Upper Normandy, and cobbled streets and traditional stone houses in the South.<\/p>

You thought villages rhymed with boredom? You got\u00a0it all wrong! As these villages often host music and art festivals which are sure to entertain the young and old spirits alike.<\/p>

In Blesle, Upper\u00a0Loire<\/strong> valley hosts a Music Festival from August 15 to 17. As for Dordogne, we recommend attending the\u00a0free concerts hapenning from\u00a018 to 19 August in Saint-L\u00e9on-sur-V\u00e9z\u00e8re<\/strong>. Art lovers can go to\u00a0Apremont-sur-Allier<\/strong>\u00a0to discover an exhibition <\/a>for illustrator\u00a0Benjamin Rabier. Every Thursday night, Lauzerte<\/strong> invites you to sample\u00a0its best local produce<\/a> while listening to music -\u00a0all at its\u00a0weekly musical gourmet market. Original, isn't it? It's party time in\u00a0the village!<\/p>
