View of Gordes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gordes is a Provencal village located in the heart of the Vaucluse mountains. The high-altitude village was built entirely from dry stone and is one of the most beautiful villages in France.

From here you have a fantastic view of the old town with its Gordes Castle, which stands on a rocky peak about 360 meters high and rises about 300 meters above the valley level. The view of the mountain village is simply stunning, especially at sunrise.

Beautiful view of the "bird's nest village" - many of the original villages that cling to the hillside have been restored over the past few years, although Gordes is one of the most beautiful

View of Gordes

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Route de la Combe, the view of Gordes is truly breathtaking. This hilltop village, one of the most beautiful in France, is revealed with its dry stone houses that seem to hang on the hillside. In the background, the rolling landscapes of the Luberon add a touch of magic to this panorama. The road winds through Mediterranean vegetation, between olive trees and holm oaks, offering a new perspective on Gordes at every moment.

View of the Notre-Dame de Sénanque Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Northeast of Gordes lies the Cistercian monastery of Notre-Dame de Sénanque. It is one of the most photographed buildings in Provence. With a few interruptions, monastic life has been taking place in the monastery again since 2009. Only part of the monastery is open to the public.

From the D 177 country road you can see the monastery almost from a bird's eye view. It is a wonderful sight, especially in early summer, when the lavender fields in front of the monastery building bloom in bright purple colors.
