Gordes is a commune in the Vaucluse département in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. The residents are known as Gordiens. The nearest big city is Avignon; smaller cities nearby include Cavaillon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Apt.
The territory of Gordes occupies some of "Les Monts de Vaucluse", a group of mountains and hills, part in the valley of the Calavon (a local river) also called the "Luberon Valley".
The main access to the village of Gordes is the departmental road D2 then the departmental road D15, coming from Cavaillon. It is from this last road, below the Bel-Air rock, that you can observe the most famous and photographed point of view of the village.
Gordes is located 38 kilometres est from Avignon and its TGV station, 75 kilometres from the Marseille Provence international airport and 87 kilometres from Marseille. The closest "gares SNCF" (normal train station) are located in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Cavaillon.
Provence (French pronunciation: [pʁɔ.vɑ̃s]; Provençal: Provença in classical norm or Prouvènço in Mistralian norm, pronounced [pʀuˈvɛⁿsɔ]) is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône River on the west to the Italian border on the east, and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on the south. It largely corresponds with the modern administrative région of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and includes the départements of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and parts of Alpes-Maritimes and Vaucluse. The largest city of the region is Marseille.
The Romans made the region into the first Roman province beyond the Alps and called it Provincia Romana, which evolved into the present name. It was ruled by the Counts of Provence from their capital in Aix-en-Provence until 1481, when it became a province of the Kings of France. While it has been part of France for more than five hundred years, it still retains a distinct cultural and linguistic identity, particularly in the interior of the region.
Gordes, c'est le village où la pierre règne en maître. Son château de style Renaissance, ses ruelles pentues en calades qui serpentent entre ses maisons vêtues de calcaire, ou ses bories omniprésentes. Mais c'est aussi un village où les artisans, puis les artistes ont posé leurs bagages, inspirés par les lieux. Marc Chagall, Victor Vasarely, André Lhote, ou encore Jean Deyrolle y ont séjourné. On y découvre également à travers les caves du palais Saint-Firmin l'histoire souterraine du village, propre à cet éperon rocheux qui a su garder toute son authenticité.
Ce village peut s'enorgueillir d'être l'un des plus beaux villages de France, avec ses ruelles caladées qui s'insinuent entre les maisons hautes, bâties à même le roc, agrippées contre ses flancs qui respirent de mille histoires et légendes. Gordes est fier également de son superbe château dressé en son coeur nous rappelant un passé riche aussi bien en conquêtes qu'en souffrances et qui abrite désormais le Musée Pol Mara et l'hôtel de Ville. Gordes préserve aussi sur ses terres, le village des Bories, ces curieuses constructions arrondies en pierres sèches, l'abbaye de Sénanque confinée dans son vallon verdoyant, le moulin des Bouillons et les caves du Palais Saint Firmin. Pour ce qui est de l'âme, Gordes a pu voir se développer en son sein, l'esprit artistique avec des peintres illustr...

Quel est le point commun entre Michel Drucker, Charlotte de Turkheim et Mazarine Pingeot ? C'est Gordes dans le Luberon. Si ce village est prisé des célébrités durant l'été, en revanche, y vivre toute l'année n'est pas toujours simple.
http://www.notrebellefrance.com/villages_vaucluse#283 Ce village perché sur un promontoire semble monter la garde sur la vallée d'Apt et la plaine de Cavaillon. Gordes est surplombé par son puissant château et sa massive église, néanmoins allégée par un campanile. Avec ses jolies calades (ruelles) et ses rangées de hautes maisons en pierre blonde, voici l'un des plus admirables de France. Trait d'union entre les siècles, le château de Gordes est un extraordinaire hybride architectural, fait d'une forteresse féodale et d'un manoir Renaissance, le tout reconverti en musée d'art moderne. Prodigieuse rencontre que celle des fenêtres à meneaux, des tours en poivrière et des oeuvres de Vasarely, restaurateur des lieux.

For more on Gordes and other villages in Provence visit http:www.seeprovence.com/gordes Gordes has had a busy history and has its origins from Gallo-Roman times where it was the fortified settlement for the main city of Cavaillon. In the 4th century, it was inhabited by the Vordenses tribe (from where the name Gordes come from, it was customary then to switch V with G). Gordes has used as a refuge for the surrounding inhabitants for centuries, to protect the local people from warring tribes, wars of religion and revolutions. This goes someway to explaining its almost austere appearance, as the continual invasions demanded that it be strongly fortified. It almost looks better from a distance, and indeed you will see many tour buses in the summer stop at laybys on the road up to Gordes for...

I've lived long enough to see the dead horse
I've lived long enough to cross swamps at night
I've lived long enough to chase a rat
I've lived long enough to take a jet ride
If you see me on an airplane
Just make sure and get out of my way
I lived long enough to know the sun will drop
And you ought to leave it lie
To see the dying of the pines
I've lived long enough to kill my first love
I've lived long enough to break in and do harm
I've lived long enough to fly an airplane
I've lived long enough to break a machine
If you see me on an airplane
Just make sure and get out of my way
I lived long enough to know the sun will drop
