Cobblestone Streets and Panoramic Views

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 white stone buildings stand rooted on the dramatic mountain cliff and between them a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets are irresistibly charming. Must-sees include the Abbey de Senanque, a tranquil 13th Century Romanesque building surrounded by swathes of fragrant lavender, as well as the Gordes promenade which offers walkers magnificent views of the surrounding countryside of the Luberon.
