Gordes, one of the most beautiful towns in France

Gordes, also known as the "Stone City," is one of the most beautiful towns in France. It is also known as the "Hanging Village" and the "Castle in the Sky." The Stone City of Gordes is not surrounded by the sea, which makes it feel a bit more rugged, but the climbing plants soften the stone a little. The Stone City is a classic medieval town in the Provence region of southern France, with a permanent population of about 2,000. Most of the houses and streets here are made of stone and wind along the hillside. Walking along the cobblestone paths between the tall stone houses, you feel as if you have traveled back to the Middle Ages. Standing in the Stone City, you can also enjoy a distant view of the Luberon Plain, with its breathtaking scenery. Its unique architectural style and beautiful natural scenery attract many tourists, who are reluctant to leave. In the center of the square is a monument to local World War I veterans. Gordes, with its simplicity, tranquility, and beauty, has become a shining pearl in southern France.
