Seguret & Sablet

This Circular Village Coils Around the Church Like an Escargot

Nestled between vineyards below and castle ruins above, Séguret is worthy of its classification as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France.” Wander the cobblestone streets and stop to admire the fountains as you wind your way up to the castle ruins. The panoramic views from the top are simply breathtaking.
