The flagship village of the Luberon and one of the most beautiful villages in France. The views from this village are exceptional. Carved unto the edge of the plateau de Vaucluse, Gordes rises in tiers through the winding cobblestone streets to the foot of its imposing Renaissance castle and church. It is a village celebrated by famed artists such as Chagall, Victor Vasarely, and also Pol Mara. Gordes is a cultural must see when visiting Provence. (photo ©yourprovence)
