13 entries for 2017's Village préféré des Français
Check out the 13 villages competing for the public vote in this year's France 2 competition
The 13 French communes competing for this year's 'Village préféré des Français' contest have been revealed.
Entries include the one of the oldest villages in Corsica, the Alsace birthplace of Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer, a popular venue for artists in Yvelines and a literary enclave in the Loire-Atlantique.
Now in its sixth year, the popular France 2 programme is presented, as usual, by Stéphane Bern, who looks at the heritage, gastronomy, crafts and conviviality that mark out each of the villages, as they compete for the title won last year by Rochefort-en-Terre - the second time in consecutive years that the competition was won by a village in Brittany
Here are images from the 13 competing venues - which one would get your vote?:
