The smallest municipality in France

Castelmoron-d'Albret is a commune in the Gironde department in New Aquitaine in southwestern France. It is notable for being the smallest commune in France by size, with an area of just 3.54 hectares, roughly the size of Place Charles de Gaule in Paris. It is located in Entre-Deux-Mers, about fifty kilometers from Bordeaux. The medieval city is full of charm and beauty with its old houses filled with colorful flowers. No house is the same, every window, shutter and door is unique and will make you stop and admire the beauty.

Medieval village

Located on a rocky outcrop, you first perceive it in the middle of the vines, when you descend the surrounding wooded plateaus. The natural defense offered by the rocky promontory reinforced by high ramparts which encircle the village on the north, west and east side.
