Aquitaine is located in the southwest of France.
The largest city, the capital, is the famous Bordeaux.
ランキングに関しては順当の位置といえるでしょう。その中でも「ドルドーニュ県」だけで10箇所もの美しい村が存在、このblogでも登場頻度がとても高いエリアです。
The overall rating (average) is 3.87, which is much higher than the overall average, and it can be said that the regional area has high quality as well as quantity.
It is also a region of gastronomy, with the “foie gras” of the Dordogne and the wines of Bordeaux.
No. 2: 18 places in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, synonymous with the south of France, is also ranked an impressive second.
The largest city and head of state is Marseille.
Because of the impression of the Côte d’Azur, we tend to think of it as being “by the sea”, but in fact the most beautiful villages are concentrated in the rugged mountainous areas.
代表的な県はゴルド周辺の「ヴォクリューズ県」、クルマで1時間以内の範囲に多くの美しい村が集中して存在しています。
In addition to the beautiful villages, the area is dotted with World Heritage sites and tourist attractions.

As expected, the Midi-Pyrenees took first place with a total of 31 places, far ahead of the second place and below. With a total of 31 places, including the defeat of the Cathari, the Bastide, the pilgrimage to Santiago, and many villages related to the Middle Ages, it is the undisputed number one.
The largest city and head of state is Toulouse.
When we think of the south of France, we tend to associate it with Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur because of its name recognition, convenience of transportation, and concentration of attractions, but if you want to feel the true “atmosphere of the Middle Ages”, I don’t think there is an area on the right of Midi-Pyrénées.
美しい村が特に集中するエリアは「アヴェロン県」、この単一の県だけで10箇所も存在、先に紹介した「ドルドーニュ県」に匹敵します。
If you are going to try to drive in Europe, this Midi Pyrenees is the area that I would definitely recommend.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region is also a good place to start, with 14 beautiful villages, the fourth largest in the world, and many World Heritage sites.
以上、美しい村数のランキング結果でした。
