🪨[One-day tour guide to Gordes in Southern France] Elegant time in the stone village ✨

#5月好去处2025 🏞️ Introduction to Gordes Gordes is a famous mountain village in the Provence region in southern France. It is famous for its spectacular stone buildings, historical castles and lavender fields. It is one of the most beautiful villages in France. The entire village is located on the hills. The stacked stone houses and magnificent scenery are a dream scene for taking photos and walking. ⸻ 🕗 Suggested itinerary for a one-day tour 08:30|Arrival at the Gordes Viewing Point As soon as you arrive at the highland viewing platform at the entrance of the village, you can overlook the entire stone village. The morning light under the sun is the most beautiful time to take pictures. The buildings here seem to grow out of the hillside, and the view from a distance is magnificent. 09:00|Walk in the ancient village Walk slowly along the stone alleys and explore the small shops and craft workshops in the village. You can find local handmade soaps, dried vanilla flowers, olive oil, and Provence painted pottery. Each shop is very flavorful. 10:00|Visit the Castle of Gordes The castle in the center of the village was built in the 11th century and is a historical landmark of the village. Artworks and historical exhibitions are exhibited inside, and you can also see the entire valley from the castle window. 11:00|Visit the underground caves Walk into the underground cave area next to the castle. It was once a cellar and storage space in the Middle Ages. The temperature is cool and full of historical atmosphere. The tunnels are intertwined, making people feel like they are going back in time. 12:30|Lunch time Enjoy traditional Provencal cuisine in the open-air restaurant in the village, such as Provencal stew, goat cheese salad, and a glass of local white wine or rose wine, and feel the leisure and fragrance of southern France. 14:00|Saint-Naguer Abbey (recommended extended itinerary) It takes about 10 minutes by car from the village to reach the abbey. In midsummer, the lavender fields and the abbey are like postcards, and are loved by photography enthusiasts. 15:30|Visit the Stone House Museum (optional) Not far from the village, there is a well-preserved traditional stone house village, which allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the early life and architectural wisdom of local farmers, which is very unique. 16:30|Afternoon tea + sunset in the village Choose a cafe in the center of the village, taste French desserts and coffee, and watch the sunset gradually fall on the stone wall. It is the most poetic way to end the day. ⸻ 📝 Tips • The most recommended way of transportation is self-driving, and public transportation is less convenient. • The sunshine is strong in summer, so it is recommended to bring sunglasses and sunscreen. • Wear comfortable shoes, the cobblestone road is not smooth. • If you can arrange to go on Tuesday, you can encounter the local morning market and have the opportunity to purchase authentic cheese and handmade vanilla products. ⸻ 🌅 Summary Gordes is not just a tourist check-in point, but a dream village that quietly tells the history and art of Provence. Whether you want to take photos of the scenery, enjoy the local life, or just relax and feel the wind and light of the south of France, this is definitely a worthwhile stop.
