At the summit are a Renaissance château and a church. The views from its terraced streets of the valley and the distant Luberon are superb. Steep narrow streets and alleys paved with rough stones thread their way between many fine houses from the sixteenth and seventeenth century. The charming village square has a good selection of open-air cafes. There are two bakeries, a supermarket and a vegetable shop as well as craft and pottery shops. Every Tuesday there is a delightful street market with local produce, wine, olives, fabrics, etc.. There is a wide selection of restaurants in and around Gordes.Gordes has a world wide reputation as one of the most beautiful villages of France and Peter Mayle's book 'A Year in Provence', set in the area, has certainly helped to reinforce this. Many movie stars, artists and politicians have made their home here. There are open-air cafes, shops and 15 restaurants in and around the village.
