DescriptionGordes - Chateau de Gordes - panoramic (5836911051).jpg |
Our final photo stop of The Luberon was above the picturesque village of Gordes. Apparently the film maker Ridley Scott has a home here. He even made a movie nearby here called <a href="http://www.luberonexperience.com/good_year.htm" rel="noreferrer nofollow">A Good Year</a>. Expensive restaurants and hotels provide a clue to the popularity of this hilltop village, which spills down in terraces from a Renaissance chateau and the church of St-Firmin. It's impressive position is the main attraction, although its vaulted, arcaded medieval lanes are also alluring. The village has been popular even since the academic Cubist painter Andre Lhote began visiting in 1938. The Chateau de Gordes was built in the 16th century on the site of a 12th century fortress. One of the chateau's best features is an ornate 16th century fireplace in the great hall on the first floor, decorated with shells, flowers and pilasters. In the entrance there is an attractive Renaissance door. The building was rented and restored by the Hungarian born Op Art painter Victor Vasarely (1908-97), and once housed a museum of his abstract works. The 17th century Caves du Palais St-Firmin have an impressive old stone olive press. From DK Eyewitness Travel: Provence & The Cote D'Azur Panoramic of the zoom ins of Gordes. |
