Annot is a really charming village. It is served by a "tortillard" (nickname given in the French language to trains that go to the mountains). The village is known for its sandstone rock formations. You'll even see one right in the center of town! Small cobbled streets, a chapel which dominates the whole from the top of its cliff complete the picture of a very pleasant place.
