Travel another way

Due to its privileged position, its exceptional charm and its typical architecture, Gordes has been listed as “one of the most beautiful villages of France”.

The houses of white and gray stone rise up in a spiral around the rock where the village is set. At the very top is the church and the castle which face out onto the hills of the Luberon.

Sandy and her group sat on what is called by the locals ” the monkey cliff” to paint this incredible view of the hilltop village of Gordes. Many tourists were more interested in them than in Gordes and started to take pictures of them.

While strolling around the tiny streets which climb up between the tall houses, we discover here and there beautiful old doorways, arcades and walls of flat stone perfectly restored, and on the other side, there is the panorama of the valley and mountains of Luberon.

The weather has been so perfect since day one allowing us to have picnics every day.

Lunch is always a time for camaraderie and good laughs.

There is also a lot of shopping to do. Margaret found the perfect gift.

Window shopping is a delight.
