Built on the foothills of the Monts of Vaucluse, facing the Luberon, Gordes is one of the most well-known hilltop villages in the region and one of the most beautiful in France. Its houses and buildings of white stone root themselves into the sharp cliff of the mountain, its labyrthinth of “calades” (narrow cobblestone streets) do not leave the visitor indifferent to its charms. There are also endless lush green olive groves and vineyards.

Gordes is a medieval village with narrow cobblestone streets, stone houses, and charming fountains. It is known for its unique stone-built houses, known as bories, which are made from local limestone and feature traditional Provencal architecture. The village’s narrow streets are lined with stone houses with terracotta roofs, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. It is also home to a number of historic buildings, such as the Gordes Castle and the Sénanque Abbey.

Gordes has been a popular destination for artists for centuries. Some of the famous artists who have lived or worked in Gordes include Marc Chagall, Victor Vasarely, and Pol Mara. The village is home to a number of art galleries and museums. In addition to the above, Gordes is also home to a number of excellent restaurants and cafes, making it a great place to enjoy the local cuisine and wine.

The town is also home to a number of markets and shops, where visitors can buy local produce and handicrafts. The weekly market, which takes place every Tuesday morning, is the best place to buy local delicacies. The wines of the Côtes du Ventoux are always a great discovery! A Wine and Olive Oil Festival, at the beginning of August, is the ideal time to discover local products, while enjoying many activities.
