Map
Located to the West of the Luberon National Park, the
village of Gordes has been designated 'one of the 100 most
beautiful villages of France' and it's easy to understand why. Set
atop a dramatic rocky ridge, Gordes dominates the surrounding
countryside with an impressive 16th century cathedral and
spectacular views. Below is the Abbey de la Senaque, a beautiful
old Cistercian abbey bathed in lavender fields where monks still
produce their secret liquor and cultivate honey. The village of
Gordes is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways, bustling with
local life and some excellent gourmet restaurants. Driving deeper
into the Luberon you come to the sheer red rocks of Rouissillon,
the village of Goult named after the family who built the big
castle, and Cabrières-d'Avignon, a picturesque village where you
can still find traditional peasant houses or "bories" some of which
have been converted into sumptuous private properties available for
holiday rental.
