Travel to the remote Medieval Town of Gordes

Gordes is a remote village hidden in the rugged landscapes of the Luberon Regional Nature Park.

Cobbled streets lined by old stone houses wind their way along the slopes of Monts de Vaucluse, ending at the majestic 16th-century château on the top, with the spectacular view of the Calavon Valley below. The village grew around the castle from the 11th century onwards. There are spots not to be missed: The Cellars of the Saint Firmin Palace, Chapel of the White Penitents, Saint James Almonry, Sénanque Abbey, ancient bories and of course the fort. The village has been home and inspiration to a number of celebrated French painters such as Marc Chagall, Victor Vasarely and Pol Mara.
