The UK newspaper published a list of its 20 most beautiful French villages and included two from Tarn and Garonne, Auvillar and Bruniquel. Also the Aveyron village of Estaing and Lautrec in the Tarn figured in the top 20 with six in total from Occitanie.
The attraction of Bruniquel, apart from its position and chateaux, was said to be its old world feeling of calm. Maire Michel Montet welcomes the classification, saying that many British visitors understand why several of our compatriots have chosen to settle there.
