The visits
Our Lady of Senanque Abbey
gordes
"Enclosed since the 12th century in the hollow of its Provençal valley, the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Sénanque appears as one of the purest testimonies of primitive Cistercian architecture.
As almost a thousand years ago, the Abbey is home to a community of Cistercian Friars who live according to the Rule of Saint Benedict."
the village of bories
gordes
"This hamlet called "Les Cabanes", before being baptized Village des bories, is located in Gordes, at an altitude of 270m. Without a cemetery and a church, this hamlet is typical of the temporary habitat which, in the Mediterranean countries, came to double the permanent village and was linked to seasonal agricultural work.
the castle of gordes
gordes
"The Château de Gordes rebuilt in 1525, already existed in 1031. Well preserved and carefully restored, it links the architecture of the Middle Ages to that of the Renaissance. The Château de Gordes, classified as a Historic Monument, will now host exhibitions throughout the year and thus becomes a space dedicated to art in all its forms."
