Gordes - Jewel of the Luberon

( Gordes is often described as the Jewel of the Luberon and claims to be the most beautiful village in France (well, they would, wouldn't they!). But you have to admit, there's some truth behind the hyperbole, and thousands of tourists every year flock to this picturesque perched village above the plain, and some stay - Sotheby's International Realty have an office there...

Tony and Helen explore Gordes after their walk from the nearby lavender fields at the Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque, on a beautiful sunny summer's afternoon. And take time out to enjoy the view from the Cercle Républicain Cafe ...

A Walk with Emperor Hadrian in Fontaine de Vaucluse

So we arrived at the attractive French medieval village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, only to meet up with Emperor Hadrian (VERY impressive breastplate) accompanied by his somewhat diminished Praetorian Guard. As he was leading everyone to the the famous source of the Sorgue river, we decided to tag along...

You're looking at the Sorgue and we've just arrived in Fontaine de Vaucluse, which is the source of the Sorgue river, which we'll be seeing later on.
Well, it's all starting promptly here at 3 o'clock.
(Emperor addresses the crowd in French)
This is the Emperor Hadrian and his trusty people - and that is Helen, who's just walked in front of me - and they are proceeding or are going to lead us to the source.
The Emperor Hadrian has put on his crown, and we are off.
Well, we're off on the way to the source, where the Emperor Hadrian is leading us. In fact, the Emperor Hadrian did pass this way with his Praetorian Guard - now these tourists? Why not?
Well, here they come, quite impressive really, isn't it?
Why, the guy is speaking Latin!
Rather like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, isn't it?
Well I'm not quite clear what's going on here. We've stopped here for a moment. You are here, with me, at Fontaine de Vaucluse and the Emperor Hadrian through there.
(Emperor speaks in Italian)
Well, it's all very exciting. A posto, a posto! (this actually is short for tutto a posto : Everything OK?)
(Soldiers march past speaking italian)
Ha, some Italian there, wasn't there?
Well, here we are, well on the way to the source itself.
OK guys, I'm not completely sure what's going on here, but we've actually stopped and turned round, facing everybody, having ploughed through quite a few tourists.
Well, well, someone has been recruited, well, there you go. It's not quite clear what's going on here, but there you go.
Oh, somebody else has been recruited - oh, it's a photo opportunity, guys, photo opportunity...
(Helen: I'll go in and ...)
Well, not to be outdone...Ave Caesar!

From Abbaye de Sénanque to Gordes: A Walk In the Luberon

From Abbaye de Sénanque to Gordes: Tony and Helen take a walk in the Luberon countryside with some intrepid travellers - and a roller-bag!

Well, we've done a bit of climbing, and if this is a bit shakey, it's probably because I'm a bit out of breath!
We've made it to the top of the hill of the valley of Sénanque. Now this, you have to admit, is a view, even by Australian standards. Well, that's halfway, let's take the road on!

According to the sign, we've just done .6 of a K from the Abbaye de Sénanque. I've got to say, it did seem further, but it was up hill. Now there they're saying that we only have 1.7 to go to Gordes. Of course, the real question is, is it going down, or is it going up?
Well, we've got our little team together, and one of them, believe it or not, has a ROLL-ON! Yes, we're carrying it!
OK, off we go!

Well, just coming into Gordes, we've encountered this borie, which is a double borie, in fact. You can see these stone walls that we've been following, really quite well-built, and here is a double borie - I just showed you the front entrance. Helen said it's like a stone igloo. Amazing, isn't it?

Well, we're all quite pleased to have arrived on the road, as you see - oh, hello! There's the road, leading into Gordes, and according to this, there you go, 1.7 to Sénanque, so that's what we're supposed to have done. And that's pretty much the type of road, apart from the stone walls, we've seen on the way. So don't try this in light shoes, you will end up with very bruised feet.

Here are our intrepid adventurers, with the Indiana Jones look. We've made it all the way to Gordes, thank God! And now we can actually use the roll-on as a roll-on, instead of carrying it, getting some pretty disbelieving stares on the way...

These are the cross-roads where we've just come to the main road, opposite Gordes. And as you can probably see and hear, wow, it's a change from the path! The traffic is quite heavy, and all because of THIS [view of Gordes].

I've clambered over the wall, and am standing somewhat precariously looking over Gordes itself. I have to say, it is quite spectacular. And a lot of work seems to have been done here over the years, looking at those brand-new walls. Well, we've got to walk round a loop to get there, and hopefully we'll be able to get some more views over the other side.
