On a trip to Southern France<\/a>, we drove to the village of Gordes in Provence and spent the afternoon shopping and goofing around in the quaint French village. Situated on the southern edge of the Plateau de Vaucluse, the town consists of a 12th century castle and beige stone houses. It is full of steep cobbled laneways, well-preserved buildings and is an architectural delight. It had all the essentials for a little town – butchers, bakers, produce shops and a few small and intimate restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This village of Gordes is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, after all, Gordes and included “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France<\/em><\/strong>” i.e. The Most Beautiful Villages in France.  It has narrow cobbled streets which thread their way through tall houses, built against the rock, clinging onto its flanks and telling tales of a thousand legends. Gordes has sheltered many famous artists such as Andr\u00e9 Lhote, Marc Chagall, Jean Deyrolle, Victor Vasarely and Pol Mara, who among others have found inspiration here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
