The small village of Rocamadour (Lot) was named one of the "most beautiful villages of France" in June 2022. This elegant cliffside sanctuary continues to fascinate thousands of visitors and pilgrims.

The association of the "most beautiful villages of France" - which met in Seillans in the Var on June 24 and 25, 2022 - has crowned four new villages.
