There is almost no commerce in the town to distract one from feeling it â the narrow mediaeval streets are quiet and almost entirely unspoilt.
And art â almost every artist of renown has spent time and painted within a few kms of Chateauneuf, and the area is a treasure trove of artists past and present â Picasso, Degas, Renoir, Chagall, Bonnard â to name a few.
