There are about 32,000 villages in France and just 151 of them are given the accolade of being one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. In the Poitou-Charentes there are seven such villages. Those on the coast have their own distinctive seaside character while the villages inland include a watery haven in the Marais Poitevin and distinctive red roofs of the most famous of them all Aubeterre-sur-Dronne
