FEATURE A whirlwind discovery of amorous France takes you to a smattering of delightful little villages that beckon with serenity and quiet allure. There is much more to France than the city of Paris, and there is no better place to begin your venture to the countryside than the wonderful array of adorable French villages. Make no mistake; these quaint villages possess such an indescribable appeal that they even have an independent association to pick out some of the ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’. Eze is a charming cluster of medieval architecture, narrow cobblestone alleyways and exotic flora and fauna. Perched on a rocky spur hanging over a cliff, the old village hints of old-time wonder complete with a fortified double gate and lookout tower. Small, artisan shops and perfumeries are haphazardly scattered throughout the alleyways, presenting a veritable treasure trove tucked away in odd spots and hidden corners of the rocky hillside. Aside from touring the historic neighbourhood, this cliffside village found between Nice and Monaco also boasts a world-famous tropical garden, Jardin Exotiqued’Eze. Here, an impressive collection of cactus, tropical plants and exotic botanical species surrounds a medieval fortress atop a rocky peak, offering picturesque views overlooking the sea. The garden also displays various works of art, including Jean-Phillipe Richard’s female figure statues that can be found peppering the lush greenery, adding some character to the garden vistas. 70 Western Europe | EU Holidays

FEATURE Situated on the foothills of the Vaucluse Mountains, the renowned village of Gordes awaits in its full grandeur from the best vantage point: on the outer approaching road. Even before stepping foot in this magnificent town, you’ll find yourself rendered speechless by its majestic beauty, framed by a backdrop where blue skies meet the verdant vastness of the Luberon valley. Houses of white stone dot the spiral visual masterpiece of this gorgeous hilltop village, while the labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets, beautiful old doorways and arcades merely add to the exceptional charm of Gordes. Explore the winding stone paths as you revel in its allure, and drink in the sights that have captivated numerous artists who came to visit. A name synonymous with celebrities and movie stars, the seaside resort town of Saint-Tropez is a renowned summer vacation hotspot not only for the beau monde but also for the regular sun seekers. A once-peaceful fishing village, Saint-Tropez leaped to stardom after starring in Brigitte Bardot’s film “And God Created Woman (1956)”. Since then, droves have descended upon the sandy beaches of Saint-Tropez in search of a spot of sun-kissed fun or perhaps, a rare glimpse of the rich and famous. But there’s also a more serene side to this village that you’d never expect, one steeped in quaint beauty and fascinating history. Perched on a hillside, a 400 -yearold citadel looms dominatingly over Saint-Tropez, housing a naval museum that tells of the town’s fascinating maritime heritage. Head to the lively square of Place des Lices to watch a rousing game of pétanque, or if it happens to be a Tuesday or Saturday morning, you’ll find a lively open-air market hawking fresh produce and exquisite souvenirs. Seven kilometres west of Saint-Tropez lies the sea-bound village of Port Grimaud, made up of canal waterways and bridges instead of roads and streets. Here, you’ll quickly discover an interesting fact – life in Port Grimaud is centered on boats. One of the most common sights you will see is a string of moored boats lined up on the waterway alongside the pastel hued houses, making it evidently clear that every house here has its own boat. The unique coastal design of Port Grimaud that integrates the land and sea owes its creation to Alsatian architect François Spoerry. The symbolic creator sought inspiration from Venice to create a coastal community while at the same time, embracing his immense love for boats. Indulge in a leisurely boat tour to see much more of the lagoon city than is accessible by foot, or climb to the top of the tower of the Church of Saint-Francis of Assisi for a breathtaking view across Port Grimaud and the gulf of Saint-Tropez.

Charging an entrance fee has only hiked Civita’s appeal to tourists, making it a little more exclusive. The little village was also known for darker reasons. Due to the forces of nature (earthquakes, landslides, floods, erosion), Civita became known as the “dying town” which has threatened its survival since the 17th century, but these challenges have only increased the town’s reputation for its resilient nature against all odds.
