这个村庄似乎消失在了天空和蓝色的天际中。所有的房屋都被漆成了白色，天空晴朗无云，被比天还要蓝的突尼斯湾在内的风景映衬着，所以这里的气氛有点不羁也就不足为奇了。蓝白小镇还有很多生意兴旺的咖啡馆和画廊。

日本的白川乡

Shirakawa-go in Japan

这个村子特别漂亮，也有着十分丰富的文化，因而联合国教科文组织1995年宣布将其列为世界遗产。该村无疑是因其古朴的房屋而为人所知的，这些房屋屋顶呈三角形，看起来像是双手合十正在祈祷。这种建筑风格名叫合掌造，是为了防止屋顶积雪而设计的，60°的坡度有利于雪更快地滑落。这些传统房屋的阁楼还可用来养蚕。合掌造是该地区的标志性建筑，但现在已经所剩不多。好在剩下的这些大多都向公众开放。一看到这些房屋的内部，你可能就会想要前往荻町城堡一览这个村子的全景啦。

法国的埃兹

Eze in France

法国本身就很美，而埃兹又是法国最美的村庄。这里似乎定格在了时光里。尽管巴黎正越来越国际化，埃兹却仍然努力保留着其古老的风味。由于临近尼斯，这个村庄成了不同文化的理想的熔炉。在中世纪期间，这里被侵略者所觊觎，在过去给许多居民带来了不幸，尽管如此，这却也令这个村庄如今拥有着丰富的遗产。这个村庄的建筑多样，华特· 迪士尼在世时还经常光顾这里寻找灵感。

France in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. Despite the

cosmopolitanism11)

that"s happening in Paris, Eze has managed to retain its old-world charm. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the

medieval12)

英国的拜伯里

Bibury in England

拜伯里坐落在英格兰西部丘陵地带的科隆河畔，19世纪的艺术家、作家威廉·莫里斯称其是“英格兰最美丽的村庄”——这话在处处都是水彩画般美景的英国颇有分量。这个古朴村庄的必去之处包括蜂蜜色的17世纪石头小屋、圣玛丽教堂和一个建于1902年的鳟鱼养殖场( 至今仍在使用)。村子里最常出现在照片中的景点是阿灵顿排屋，它们是一排建于14世纪的石头建筑，17世纪时被改造成了织工小屋。

Located on the River Coln in the hilly West of England, Bibury was described by 19th-century artist-writer William Morris as "the most beautiful village in England"—which is saying something in a country known for its watercolor views. Honey-colored 17th-century stone cottages, the Church of St. Mary and a still-working 1902
