In 1982, the association was created by the mayor of a small and beautiful village located in the center of France. He noticed that some of the many villages of France had been spared by the uncontrolled development of cities, and remained protected. He wanted to federate the energies still alive all over France to protect and develop in the proper way their notoriety, and support their evolution.
- Quality: If there were only one word which could remain, Quality would be the one. The association, focuses on quality from the beginning. The selection of new villages (and the re-examination of the members) is based on set criteria, which measure the quality of the villages and their development.
- Notoriety: The association shares with its members successful experiences which took place in villages, provides expert advise, and leads communication action to increase the notoriety of the association as well as the one of its members. Some of the villages are world wide famous and the other will become so.
- Development: In association with ComeToParis-ComeToFrance, to which an excusive license has been granted, the association “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” has implemented the tourist development of the villages, according to the quality requirements. Stays and trips have been set up and elaborated with the inhabitants of the villages who want to share their passion.
