Stroll through the narrow streets of Gordes
Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Gordes embodies the very essence of the region. The pale stone, the shifting light, and the contours of the landscape come together to create a setting that is both striking and delicate.

Sénanque Abbey
Just a few miles from the village, Sénanque Abbey offers a radically different experience. Founded in the 12th century, it sits within an unspoiled landscape, surrounded by fields of lavender in season. The Cistercian architecture, simple and austere, harmonizes with the unspoiled natural surroundings. Even when the flowers aren’t in bloom, the place retains a deeply soothing atmosphere. It’s a must-see for those who want to enrich their exploration and discover what else there is to do in Gordes beyond the village itself.
A break on the terrace overlooking the Luberon
After exploring, it’s only natural to take a break. In Gordes, some terraces offer sweeping views of the Luberon hills. We love settling in at Le TIGrr Gordes, perched above the valley, for a drink at the end of the day, or at L’Orangerie Gordes, for a more leisurely break in the shade. A coffee, a glass of wine, a light lunch… and time seems to stand still. Our guests particularly appreciate these moments. In the Gordes Luberon, luxury is often found in this masterful simplicity, in this ability to fully savor the moment.
