Enchanting Gourdon

13 comments
Gourdon is another of those enchanting villages perches in the Provence area that is worth visiting. The drive to reach this hilltop village was already enchanting in itself as we passed by town after town in this Provencal region.  We passed by beautiful Provencal country homes and a view of their gardens. Then we drove along winding roads with the view of the small towns below to reach the summit of  a rocky cliff which is called Gourdon. As we reached the village, we were greeted by centuries old stone Provencal houses with their private gardens set with the backdrop of the mountains known as the Loup valley. Then we saw the privately owned Chateau de Gourdon, built in the 12th Century, which welcome visitors to view their private two Museums and garden. Strolling around the village that morning lead us to discover more stone houses, their shops selling locally produced Provencal products mostly dedicated to lavender products, perfume and local art. Then at the back of the village,offered a glorious view of the Loup valley.  We felt we were on top of the World.
