We drove uphill, hoping to find a parking lot in the village…

 Lucky we, managed to find a parking space without looking high and low everywhere.

After we parked the car in place, we walked into the village center….

Gordes is proud of its castle firmly planted in its very core and which reminds the passer-by of a past rich with conquests but also marked with the sufferings of its inhabitants.

Today, the castle acts as both a Town Hall and a Museum sheltering the works of the painter Pol Mara. The good thing about this place it, though touristic, yet it preserves its own charm.

Most of the houses and buildings were built of white stone. Its labyrthinth of “calades” (narrow cobbleston streets) add a lots of charm to this place. 

Many artists have stayed in Gordes and have contributed to its fame. Besides, Gordes is the seat of many cultural events in summer with its museums, festival, concerts and numerous exhibitions.

Very quiet neighborhood. We didn’t get to see many children at this place. Even the kids had noticed that too. 

On the way back, husband pull over the car, so that I could take some real good pictures at the vintage point. Panoramic view of the Village of Gordes.
