The Farmhouse of "Val d‘Eden" is located at Gordes

After a turn of the road you will have the splendid vision of Gordes, village perched on a rocky outcrop vis-a-vis Lubéron.

Its houses built of white or gray dry stones are aligned in spiral around the rock on which the village is posed, the church and the castle at the top which face the hills of Lubéron.

Its privileged situation, its exceptional charm and its typical architecture classified it as "one of the most beautiful villages of France".

 

While walking in its small "caladées" lanes which slip between the high houses of the village, you will discover here and there superb old doors, vaults and walls of punts stones learnedly restored and on the terraces, a sumptuous panorama will be offered to you on the valley and the mountain of Luberon.

In the center of the village of Gordes, you will be able to visit its imposing castle fortress which shelters the town hall and the museum "Pol Mara", contemporary Flemish painter.

The curious village of the bories also worth visiting : the bories are kinds of small round huts built of stones and used before by the shepherds and hunters.

Without any doubt Gordes is the most admirable village of Vaucluse, it enjoys a success and a world reputation and attracts many of great industries managers and a lot of stars of the show business who elected residence there.  The best seller "A year in Provence" of Peter Mayle also had to contribute to it !
