Best Gordes Vacation Packages

This old village in southeastern France is one of the country’s most beautiful places. Its buildings are constructed of beige stones that glow orange at sunrise. They look out from the southern cliffs of the Plateau of Vaucluse. Gordes’s beauty makes it very popular as a summer retreat for artists and filmmakers, but more importantly it is rich in history. Visit its 12th century castle, and don’t miss the Abbey of Senanque, which was also built in the 1100s and is still home to Cistercian monks who produce honey, lavender and liqueurs. For an artistic treat, visit Pol Mara museum.
