Description

Welcome to the Gordes service area, located on a mixed parking lot with a few spaces reserved for campervans, in the heart of the Luberon and Monts de Vaucluse Regional Natural Park. You will find a 24/7 station for emptying grey and black water, as well as a water refill point, and convenient parking spaces. The perched village of Gordes, ranked among the most beautiful in France, invites you to stroll among dry-stone buildings and rural landscapes — the local Tuesday market showcases local produce and crafts. Pets allowed; nearby shops and services make your stay easier and the surrounding walks promise lovely discoveries.

Tourisme

Gordes (Vaucluse, France)

Gordes stands on a rocky spur in the heart of the Luberon regional natural park, offering a striking panorama over lavender-covered hills and olive groves. This perched village with steep lanes has preserved a pronounced Provençal charm marked by pale stone and old tiled roofs. The atmosphere combines cultural tourism and local life, notably during the weekly market and temporary exhibitions. It’s a practical starting point for exploring the region and its Mediterranean landscapes.

Heritage and history

The Château de Gordes dominates the central square; built in the Middle Ages and remodeled during the Renaissance, it now hosts art exhibitions. The village is part of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, a classification apparent in the harmony of the dry-stone façades. Nearby, the Abbaye de Sénanque illustrates the Cistercian history of the valley with its austere 12th-century architecture.

Architecture and craftsmanship

The lanes reveal stone houses, stairways and small squares backed against the rock. Everywhere you can see dry stone walls and bories, those traditional dry-stone huts restored in the area. Small galleries and artisan workshops showcase stone, ceramics and woodworking crafts.

Nature and outdoor activities

The surroundings offer hiking trails in the Luberon, bicycle rides and panoramas over lavender fields in summer. The nearby hills are well suited to contemplative walks and observing Mediterranean flora.

Gastronomy and wines

Local cuisine highlights regional products: olive oil, herbes de Provence, and Provençal dishes. The estates of the Luberon AOC produce red and rosé wines often served in the village bistros.
