Why Gordes Village matters
Gordes is a tiered village of pale stone houses stacked on a hill. Narrow lanes climb to a small castle and square. The classic view is from the road before you arrive. Walk down toward the lower lanes for quieter corners, and bring water in summer heat.
Talking points
- The classic view is from the approach road.
