Your favorite tiny French village
This topic might be a bit overworn, but I'm thinking of REALLY small villages, population much less than 1000. There are lots of them in France, and some of them are among the most charming anywhere. I'll start by saying that mine is the village of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Midi Pyrenees. What's your favorite?

Our favorite is the tiny village perché Le Poët-Laval in the Drôme, once a stronghold of the Knights of Malta in medieval times. The nearby small town of Dieulefit feels more like a village and is very pleasant.

Hi
I quite like Saussines, Herault.
Population of 800 today, founded by monks in about 1100.
Some photos of Saussines and other local villages here :
