What to see in Gordes

The must-sees
of Gordes.

One of the most photographed villages in Provence: houses of pale stone climbing a cliff face, a Renaissance castle at the top, and Sénanque Abbey a few minutes away in the hills. Comfortably a full day out from Marseille.

🏘️

The hilltop village

Golden stone houses stacked up the cliff above the valley. The postcard view is from the road coming up from the plain, just before the last bend — the stop every visitor asks for.

🏰

Gordes castle

Rebuilt in the 16th century on medieval foundations, the castle stands right on the village square and anchors the old centre with its exhibition rooms.

🪨

Village des Bories

A hamlet of dry-stone huts built without mortar, a few kilometres below the village. An open-air museum of Provençal rural building at its purest.

💜

Sénanque Abbey

A 12th-century Cistercian abbey tucked in a fold of the hills north of the village, still home to a community of monks. Its lavender field flowers roughly mid-June to mid-July.

🧺

Cobbled lanes & market day

Stepped calades, vaulted passages and shaded squares. On Tuesday mornings the market takes over the centre with local produce, soaps and Provençal fabrics.

Tips from your chauffeur
  • The best photograph of Gordes is taken on the way in, from the belvedere on the valley road — mention it when you book and your driver can pull in there.
  • Wear proper shoes: the lanes are steep, cobbled and often stepped, and the village is best explored on foot.
  • For the lavender at Sénanque Abbey, aim for the first hours of the morning between mid-June and mid-July — better light, and the narrow lane down to the abbey is far calmer.
  • The centre is tight and largely closed to traffic in season: a drop-off at the nearest authorised point saves a long walk from the car parks. Agree your pick-up time before you set off, phone signal in the valleys is patchy.

The price you see is the price you pay.

On a metered ride, the final fare depends on traffic, on the route taken and on night or luggage surcharges — and the road up to Gordes is a long one. With Marseille Provence Driver the fare is fixed and confirmed in writing before departure: tolls, fuel and luggage included, no night surcharge.
