Gordes

Gordes is a super cool village in France, way up high on a rocky hill! It's like a giant stone crown sitting on the land. It's part of a special park called the Luberon Regional Natural Park. The houses are all squished together, climbing up the hill. It's a beautiful place with sunny weather, perfect for exploring!

This village is very, very old. People have lived here for a long, long time. It has a big castle that looks like it's guarding the town. There are also old stone huts called 'bories' that are like tiny, round houses made of rocks stacked without any sticky stuff! It's like stepping back in time to see how people lived ages ago.

Guess what? Gordes was once called the 'most beautiful village in the world'! Wow! It has amazing old buildings, like two special churches called abbeys, and even old windmills that used to grind grain. It's so pretty that people from all over the world come to visit and see its magic.

People in Gordes are called Gordiens. They are very proud of their beautiful village. Many people work in places that help visitors, like hotels and restaurants. They also take care of the old buildings and make sure the village stays lovely. It’s a place where history and beauty live together.
