Answer 2

there are a huge numer of villages in France (the country actually host about 36 000 communes, the big majority of them being rural little villages.

Each region has its specific villages, but I'd say that the biggest concentration of very beautiful villages is in Provence, on the mediterranean shore (south east).  The villages in the regions bordering Belgium have generally less character and atractiveness.

these are some exemples of beautiful famous villages in differents regions:

-Cote d'Azur: Villefranche sur mer, Menton, Eze

What a stupid question.  There are tens of thousands, so nobody knows.  I have driven through hundreds of them and they all have beauty of their own.  Go find out and let us know.

Villefranche Sur Mer is my favorite.  It's absolutely gorgeous.  You can see the bottom of the water from up on the train on a cliff.  It's really breathtaking.
