Lozay, France

With a population of only 165, Lozay is a sleepy, rural French commune that offers little in the way of modern amenities. The 12th-century fortified church and handful of other historical sights may appeal to architecture buffs, but the bureaucratic hassles of navigating local preservation laws are a persistent headache. For those seeking a tranquil escape from city life, Lozay could fit the bill - but don't expect much in the way of excitement or convenience.
