Gordes is a hilltop village in the Luberon, recognisable for its pale stone houses and lanes that climb towards the château. Views stretch across the Provençal hills and surrounding farmland. You can explore the village on foot, between small squares, old passages and viewpoints over the valley; its atmosphere suits travellers drawn to heritage, scenery and walks through the villages of the Vaucluse.

Gordes château and Saint-Firmin Church are in the village, while the Caves du Palais Saint-Firmin offer a chance to discover underground spaces carved into the rock. The Village des Bories features dry-stone buildings characteristic of the region. Sénanque Abbey, set in a valley, is another notable place to visit; the lavender fields around it are particularly colourful in summer. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and its canals make a good day trip, and the landscapes of the Luberon can also be explored on foot or by bike.

A car makes it easier to travel between villages, rural sites and Provençal markets. For a day without a long drive, you can spend the morning exploring the lanes and château, then head to a walking trail or visit the bories. Lavender usually blooms from late June to July, and early mornings are more pleasant for walking in summer. Spring and early autumn bring temperatures suited to walks; in September, markets and roads across the Luberon remain busy without the crowds of peak summer.
