These are the villages I love the most. I\u2019ve visited them time and again over the years, and today I\u2019m sharing a personal selection of 12 hidden gems. These are places you can explore at your own pace, far from the crowds, so you can enjoy the very best of southern France\u2014just like a local. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What has always amazed me about France is the number of charming villages it has, all very close to each other. In a few days you can visit several of these magical places, but you can also choose to stay in just one and let yourself be carried away by the slow and relaxed pace of local life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each has its own charm, and the beauty of exploring the South of France is that you can decide whether to do it in one trip or if you prefer to get to know them little by little, enjoying each experience to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
