Gordes is a beautiful hilltop village perched in the heart of the Luberon National Park. It is classified as one of France's most beautiful villages and is definitely one of the brightest gems in Provence's crown. This sought-after village offers tourists more attractions than other Provençal villages of similar size. It has a wide selection of restaurants, spas and shops from the family-friendly to the exclusive range of products.
Its houses and buildings of white stone root themselves into the sharp cliff of the mountain, its labyrinth of "calades" (narrow cobblestone streets) do not leave the visitor indifferent to its charms.
Gordes is 30min from Avignon, 2h40 from Paris by TGV and one hour from the capital by plane, 45min from the Marseille-Provence Airport in Marignane and two hours from Nice and the Riviera.
