Walkable, dense, green, no cars, built from locally sourced materials...
Are urbanists just trying to create French villages?
Most French villages are very car centred.
Not the ones developed before cars were invented, which is likely the case of this one.
Yeah, the centre. But many places like this are half dead at the core, with car centered suburbs around it and shops in big malls along the roads. The difference with Spain is stark, where the old centres are usually still the actual heart of the village.
