Gordes

The best time to visit Gordes is during the shoulder seasons, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), when the weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller, and the lavender fields are in bloom (typically June-July).

Gordes is best accessed by car. The nearest major airport is Marseille Provence Airport (MRS). From there, you can rent a car or take a train to a nearby town and then a taxi or bus to Gordes. Public transport options are limited, so a car is highly recommended for exploring the area.

Must-see attractions include the Gordes Castle, the Abbaye de Sénanque, the village itself with its charming streets and artisan shops, and the panoramic views from the various viewpoints around the village. Consider also visiting the nearby villages of Roussillon and Ménerbes.
