Description
-o§o- To illustrate one more time this fall season's outing in the Provence region, south of Lyons, I've chosen this view of the small city of Gordes (pronounced [go:rd]), that proudly faces the northern face of the Luberon mountain range. For a French 'Northerner' like me, such a village architecture is totally different from the historical and traditional architecture standards we can see over here, with these gently sloping tile rooftops, huddled together as if they were overlapping with each other_ perhaps to get a kind of protection from the strong and cold 'mistral' wind that surely blow the rainy clouds away but brings in instead a chilly and continuous breeze to the region as a compensation for showers and drizzle !
-o§o- Besides, the differences between Northern and Southern France are shown here, with the vegetation and tree species, such as the lanky dark green cypress which is a typical Mediterranean tree species, along with the olive trees, for instance.
-o§o- The little city of Gordes has received an official award as being one of the most beautiful villages in France, and I have no intention whatsoever of opposing this decision !
-o§o- Thank you so much for your nice comments on my latest Provençal photo taken in Lourmarin, have a nice week everyone, and enjoy this wonderful Indian summer colours all around ...Please zoom in for more atmospheric details!

Wow! Une photographie qui continue de nous montrer la beauté du sud de la France. Ta série provençale est une véritable publicité pour mes prochaines vacances d'été. 😃🌞 Comme tu soulignes bien, cette région du sud est tellement différente de ce que nous pouvons voir par chez nous. La végétation est typique avec ces cyprès et ces oliviers... Merci de nous faire voyager et de partager ces petits bonheurs avec nous !

C'est une très belle vue de ce village en pente, et les chanceux qui ont une terrasse au-dessus de leur maison doivent avoir une super vue sur la montagne.......magnifique photo, Jean-Luc !

Totalement d'accord, Gordes est un bijou et ta superbe photo lui rend un bel hommage. Ma seule réserve concerne les prix pratiqués à certains endroits. Quant aux plus beaux villages de France, il y a beaucoup à dire compte tenu de l’aspect hautement commercial de la chose ! Cadratins magnifiques villages n'y sont plus, d'autres ne méritant pas le déplacement en font partie...je suis ça de très près et j'ai visité plus de 50% de ces villages.

J'ai reconnu Gordes tout de suite : j'ai habité dans le Luberon pendant plusieurs années. Il y avait un très beau musée Vasarely dans le château autrefois. Je passais souvent à Gordes en vélo...Nostalgie, nostalgie...

A marvelous catch!

Très belle photo, Gordes est en effet l'emblème du Luberon, il est très joli, malheureusement c'est devenu une sorte de Saint Tropez. Il n'y a plus une maison, même à restaurer qui ne se vende pas à prix d'or. La rançon de la gloire sans doutes.
