🇫🇷 Summer in Provence – Dreamy Hilltop Town of Gordes 🏰🌿

#summervacay Nestled in the Luberon hills, Gordes is often called the most beautiful hilltop village in Provence — and it’s easy to see why. With cobbled lanes, honey-colored stone houses, and sweeping valley views, it’s like walking through a postcard. ✨ Top Highlights: • Scenic Viewpoint: Just 15 minutes’ walk from town center (or 3 mins by car), this lookout offers breathtaking views — especially 30 minutes before sunset. • Senanque Abbey: A must-see during lavender season (mid-June to mid-August) — fields of purple surround the historic abbey. • Old Town Alleys: Wander the charming narrow streets covered in vines and flowers — pure Provence magic. • Château de Gordes: Explore Renaissance-style halls, staircases, and art galleries inside the 11th-century castle. • Saint Firmin Church: 18th-century church with stunning trompe-l’œil frescoes and vaulted arches. #summer #vacation #europe #trip #travel #naturalwonders
