Gordes is a picturesque village in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in southern France, within the Vaucluse department. Perched on a hilltop in the Luberon valley, it offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The village is characterised by its stone buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and timeless Provencal charm.
Historically, Gordes dates back to Roman times and has been continuously inhabited throughout the centuries. Its centrepiece is a 12th-century castle, which was renovated during the Renaissance and now houses a museum and cultural exhibitions. The village played a significant role during World War II as a centre of Resistance activity, earning recognition for its bravery.
Today, Gordes is celebrated as one of “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” (The Most Beautiful Villages of France). It attracts visitors with its history, breathtaking views, and proximity to landmarks like the Sénanque Abbey, famous for its lavender fields. It remains a symbol of Provencal beauty and heritage.
