There are 141 villages in France rated as a Plus Beaux Village. The ratings are awarded by the Plus Beaux Villages de France association. The basic requirements to be considered by the association are: population under 2000, at least two village sites or buildings classified as "protected", and the municipality requests that the village be considered. As you can see, these requirements could exclude some otherwise lovely places.
