That's a shame, it doesn't deserve that.
There was another town we went to and had to leave the cars in a car park before entering the town. It was all medieval stones ac nd the church was stunning, I can never remember it's name. That's probably gone the same way as St Michel.
Are you thinking of St Paul de Vence in Provence by any chance? Lovely spot.
Resting place of Belarusian artist Marc Chagall.
About 40 mins from Nice.

Bit early but any recommendations for a 3/4 bedroom villa in September (2025)?Needs to be close to beach, amenities, somewhere like Portugal
Btw DMD and OLM, this site has a rubbish search filter facility will you have a word

Very much depends how busy you want it. I like Corralejo in Fuerteventura, which is quieter than most of Tenerife but still has some life and is a boat ride away from Playa Banca in Lanzarote, so you can get a look at that too. On Gran Canaria, Maspalomas or Port Morgan are very picturesque but more expensive, Puerto Rico is hilly and more touristy.
 
I think you've found it mate, beautiful place and you could only drive around it if you lived there.
I've always wished I could've gone back to Mont St Michel, it's been one of the regrets of my life that I never got to see it all, stunning place.
 
Off to Albufeira in a couple of weeks, right between the old town and new town - any recommendations?
Depends what you like. We use to hire a car and drive along the Algarve, some amazing beaches from fisherman’s coves (not many left) to smaller towns.
Albufreira old town is lovely. The strip is livelier, though we always go just out of season.
I love the place, we’ve been half a dozen times and looking at renting a villa for whole family next year.

I’ve been to Puerto Rico, Chazz.

Thoroughly enjoyed my two weeks there, one of the highlights was copping off with a hefty lass from Warrington.

Resembled a portly Milandra Burrows.

Happy times.
