Archail, church
More surprisingly, you will realise that Archail is a charming little village where old round grey stone and Roman tiles are sovereign: small stone walls, stone stairs, dark wood shutters, in Archail, there is no lack of taste, nothing but the real thing!
The air here is gentle, the plants superbly Mediterannean: - fig trees, lime trees, virginia creepers and fruit trees, fir trees and lavender - and the inevitable café on the village square, where the basin and its fountain rub shoulders with the church.
Archail has everything to attract those who love authenticity and beauty as much as they do tranquillity!
