French villages
Rural Provence settlements
French villages are small rural settlements in France, typically characterized by clustered stone houses, a central church, and surrounding agricultural land.
The phrase evokes a romantic image of provincial life—narrow streets, local markets, rustic charm: They spent the summer touring French villages in Provence.
Unlike larger towns, villages retain traditional architecture and slower rhythms of daily life.
