The village of Gordes is, along with Roussillon, one of the most visited in the entire Luberon. It must be said that it is impressive perched on its rock. Formerly its economy was based solely on the exploitation of olives. If you want to see this past, you absolutely must visit the Saint-Firmin cellar, located in one of the many sloping streets of the town.

Its castle houses a contemporary art museum and every year new artists are invited to exhibit their works.

Sightseeing attractions:

- The Château de Gordes, a massively fortified castle, originally from the 11th century; However, the most striking parts come from the Renaissance period. In the interior of the castle, which has been a listed building since 1931, the visitor will also find an art museum of painting and the local tourist office. Particularly noteworthy in the interior design are the numerous fireplaces; the oldest is dated 1541.
- The fountain on the southern forecourt of the castle dates from 1342. For a long time it was the only water source in the high town center.
- The Saint-Firmin church, completed in 1704, was built on the foundations of an older church from the 13th century. In addition to the foundation walls, other old buildings were also integrated into the new church, including: the bell tower with a square floor plan, which probably dates from the 14th century. An old dungeon has been preserved at the foot of this tower.
- The Hôtel Saint-Firmin (formerly Hôtel Gaudin-de-Lancier), a town house from the 15th century - equipped with a park, impressive vaulted cellars, cisterns and oil mills - has been a listed building since 1998 and today houses an upscale restaurant and a first-class Wine cellar with natural climate control.
- The narrow streets with their high, narrow houses are also attractive.
