This old castle village, today listed among the most beautiful villages of France, is a charming fortified village in an unusual circular shape. The architecture of this tiny magnificent circle-shaped Bastide from the 12th century is very well preserved indeed. This small fortified village is dominated by the Chateau de Fources and is idyllically situated at the banks of the small river Auzoue. Fources has less than 300 inhabitants who since 1970 participate themselves financially in the preservation and restoration of their bastide.
In the shade of the plane trees, its round village square is ideal for a stroll and is surrounded by picturesque old arcade houses. Fourcès also has pretty side streets, a little square called Place des Cornières, a Clocktower, a 15th-century castle and a medieval bridge over the Auzoue.
Each year in the last weekend of April, a large and colourful flower market brightens up the central square in Fourcès.
