Cotignac, is a friendly medieval village, full of charm and character nestling at the foot of a huge limestone cliff in the heart of Provence.  Two ancient Saracen towers dominate the cliff top overlooking the charming old tiled roofs of the village.  The main village square hosts a busy market on Tuesdays. Glasses of chilled "rose" wine and aromatic coffee can be enjoyed at the pavement cafes beneath the shade of the grandiose plane trees.  Sit down to tasty Provençal fare in the balmy moments of evening. Situated within easy reach of the Verdun Grand Canyon and the French Riviera Côte d'Azur (St Tropez,) near the Lake of St. Croix, where the locals produce Côte de Provence wine and olive oil. Golf in nearby Barbaroux 20 to 30 minutes away, or Nans les Pins, one hour away.
