Photo - Nestled on the French Riviera, just a short drive from the glitz of Saint-Tropez, lies the picturesque village of Ramatuelle. Perched on a hillside and overlooking vineyards and the Mediterranean, this medieval village enchants visitors with its narrow-cobbled streets and peaceful, artistic atmosphere. A fascinating fact about Ramatuelle is that, despite its Provençal location, the name is derived from the Arabic phrase "Rahmat Allah", meaning “the mercy of God.” This traces back to the 9th century when the region experienced Saracen occupation, leaving linguistic traces behind. Market day in Ramatuelle is held every Thursday and Sunday morning in the main square, perfect for sampling local cheeses, fresh produce, flowers, and handcrafted goods while soaking up the local culture.
