Narrow streets (by the way, will you manage to find the rue des Puces, the narrowest street in France?). A perfectly renovated castle, and its hanging gardens from which the view is magnificent... And all that, by the river...

Yes yes, it's a dream but it's really like that! One thing that we love to do when we go to Vogüé is to go up to the Chapelle Ste Cerice.
