9Gordes – A Hilltop Haven in Provence
Gordes is one of the most beautiful and iconic villages in Provence. Set atop a hill, this stone village overlooks the Luberon Valley and is surrounded by lavender fields, vineyards, and olive groves. Gordes is famous for its traditional Provençal architecture, with its stone buildings blending harmoniously into the rocky landscape. The narrow, winding streets lead to the castle at the center of the village, which houses the Pol Mara Museum, dedicated to the work of the Belgian artist. Visitors can also explore the nearby Abbaye de Sénanque, a stunning Cistercian abbey nestled in lavender fields, making Gordes a quintessential Provençal experience.
