    Northeast of Gordes lies the Cistercian monastery of Notre-Dame de Sénanque. It is one of the most photographed buildings in Provence. With a few interruptions, monastic life has been taking place in the monastery again since 2009. Only part of the monastery is open to the public.

    From the D 177 country road you can see the monastery almost from a bird's eye view. It is a wonderful sight, especially in early summer, when the lavender fields in front of the monastery building bloom in bright purple colors.

    Very beautiful monastery in the Sénanque valley, and home to a community of Cistercian monks since 1148.

    The view is particularly splendid when the lavender fields are in bloom.

    It was really steep. But it's manageable with an e-bike.
