Villeneuve (Provence): The Bloom of Love
Nestled on the Durance Valley in the south part of France, Villeneuve is a small town that belongs in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. In the past, the town was built on the hill to improve its defense against invaders. Later on, only the church was left on top of the hill as a remembrance of the original location as the rest of the village moved further into the forest areas. The nearest airport is the Avignon Caumont Airport (AVN).
