Gordes is a Provençal village of pale stone perched above the Calavon valley, in the Luberon Regional Natural Park. Its houses clustered along the hillside, cobbled lanes and vaulted passageways give the village a distinctive character, while the surrounding landscapes alternate between fields, orchards, vineyards and dry hills. The village suits travellers wishing to discover the rural heritage of Vaucluse, explore the roads of the Luberon and return to the quiet of Provençal villages after a day of sightseeing.

Gordes Castle overlooks the main square and houses exhibitions in its historic rooms. Les Bories, a group of dry-stone huts, bear witness to local farming traditions. Notre-Dame de Sénanque Abbey, surrounded by lavender fields, can be visited in a valley north of the village. Simiane Park and Saint-Firmin Church extend the walk through the village. L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue railway station is 11 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between villages and rural sites. The hotel has free private parking.

Spring and autumn are good times for walks through the lanes and trips along the small roads of the mountains, with generally milder temperatures than in high summer. In June and July, lavender in bloom colours the landscapes around Sénanque, while the grape harvest brings activity to the vineyards in early autumn. A day can combine a visit to the village, a stop at the abbey and a look at the dry-stone buildings. In summer, set off early to enjoy the paths and views before the hottest part of the day.
