• Gordes

A splendid hilltop town considered one of the most beautiful in France, 35km east of Avignon, and within the rugged landscapes of the Luberon Regional Nature Park. Originally a Celtic and Roman fort, the village cobbled narrow streets lead uphill to a 16th century Renaissance Castle, today the town hall and a museum, and where a Tuesday Provencal market is held every week. The village is a mix of a tranquil Provencal village and an upscale summer resort destination offering a tranquil retreat in the countryside. Once in Gordes visit the Medieval Saint-Firmin Palace rock carved cellars.
