Inside Gordes
The hilltop village of Gordes has been named one of France’s most beautiful and it is easy to see why.
Sitting on the edge of the plateau of Vaucluse, the village spirals around the rock it sits upon, with its impressive church and castle facing out onto the Luberon countryside.
Its picturesque streets, amazing scenery and proximity to rural beauty and larger towns, such as Avignon, make it a popular destination with French media personalities, film directors and artists.
Lifestyle
The tiny streets of Gordes demand to be explored, with their pristine houses and stunning medieval architecture, such as its fortified castle, which houses the town hall and Pol Mara Museum, dedicated to the work of the Belgian artist.
The village’s rich history also includes some exceptional rare sites, such as its Abbey of Senanque, hidden in the green valley and still the home of Cistercian monks, and its village of ‘bories’, little round stone huts that were once used by shepherds and hunters.
There’s a vivid modern culture too though, with its excellent weekly open-air market selling local produce and trinkets, and various cultural and artistic events through its galleries and summer season of plays, concerts and operas. Its fantastic restaurants include Michelin-starred Les Bories.
Accessibility
Gordes is just half an hour from Avignon-Provence Airport and roughly 50 minutes from the high-speed TGV railway station.
Marseille Provence Airport in Bouches-du-Rhône and the airport and TGV station in Aix-en-Provence are approximately 80 kilometres away.
