Cotignac, Medieval commune in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
The village stands at the base of an 80-meter limestone cliff, featuring narrow streets lined with stone houses and eighteen decorative water fountains.
A castle with two defensive towers was constructed on top of the cliff during the 12th century to protect the settlement from potential invaders.
The village maintains a strong artistic presence with numerous art galleries, studios, and the Theatre du Rocher hosting summer concerts behind the 13th-century church.
The Provencal market on Cours Gambetta presents local products, while the surrounding area contains multiple wine estates offering tours and tastings.
The village contains eighteen fountains from the 17th century that provide drinking water and create natural meeting points under the shade of plane trees.
