A<\/span>fter driving from Monaco to \u00c9tretat, and from Carcassonne to Lyon, I think I’m allowed to put on the proverbial France expert hat<\/a>. I’ve seen enough villages, landmarks, and open countryside to know which ones are worth making a detour for – or as we call it, taking the “scenic route”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And although some would argue that France is, as such, one giant postcard, there are some places that I feel take this “picture perfect” notion to another level. Here are, in no particular order, my absolute favourite French villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riquewihr, Alsace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Beautiful<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Riquewihr was without a doubt the highlight of my Alsace roadtrip a few years ago. Its main street is flanked by ancient timber houses coloured in all hues of the rainbow, enticing Riesling cellars, and mouth-watering eateries; in other words, it’s very hard not to like Riquewihr. It felt like stepping in a perfectly preserved Disneyland version of 16th-century Europe, as the village has changed very little since then\u2014nothing short of a miracle, considering most towns in this area of France were badly damaged during World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n
