Café du Coiffeur J. Vincent - a photo on Flickriver

            Half-timbered Cafe du Coiffeur in the lovely country village Beuvron-en-Auge in the Pays d'Auge, in the Calvados department of Basse-Normandy, France. The total population is about 225.
Beuvron-en-Auge is classified with the label of 'Les Plus Beaux Villages de France' (The most beautiful villages of France). Almost every house is in the gorgeous multicoloured half-timbered style for which Normandy is famous. The buildings date back to the 17th century and there is a beautiful manor house dating back to the 15th century. 

'Les Plus Beaux Villages de France' (The most beautiful villages of France) is an independent association, created in 1982, which aims to promote assets of small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage. As of 2008, 152 villages in France have been labelled as 'les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
There are a few criteria before entering the association: the population of the village must not exceed 2,000 inhabitants, there must be at least 2 protected areas (picturesque or legendary sites, or sites of scientific, artistic or historic interest), and the decision to candidate must be taken by the town council.

Cafe du Coiffeur in Beuvron-en-Auge in de kenmerkende vakwerkstijl voor Normandië. 
Beuvron-en-Auge is een schitterend schilderachtig dorpje, dat met 152 andere dorpen is gekwalificeerd als een van ‘Les plus beaux villages de France’ (De mooiste dorpen van Frankrijk).  Het dorp telt ongeveer 225 inwoners en ligt in het Pays d'Auge, een streek in het Franse departement Calvados (regio Laag-Normandië).
Beuvron-en-Auge was tot de 18e eeuw eeuwenlang eigendom van de familie Harcourt, die er een kasteel had. Het kasteel is verwoest. Aan het marktplein en in de hoofdstraat bevinden zich meer dan 40 Normandische vakwerkhuizen uit de 17e en 18e eeuw. Het Vieux Manoir is een landhuis in vakwerk uit de 15e eeuw.
