Gordes is the emblem of the Provençal perched village. Described, photographed and admired a thousand times, its aura is due to the illustrious artists who revealed it and left an ever-lively cultural imprint. Gordes is dry stone walls that line the roads and protect the houses from the mistral and prying eyes; it is also its castle, its magnificent Abbey of Sénanque, one of the three Cistercian “sisters” of Provence with the abbeys of Thoronet and Silvacane built in the 12th century in a valley of lavender fields. It's one of the most "chic" places in Provence but remains a village attached to its land and its traditions. The carefully restored cobbled streets, the castle square and its fountain, the stalls... The typical Provençal charm of Gordes is still operating.
