2 Tuesday Farmer Market (in Gordes)

Why live in a village if you can’t go organic I thank the constellation above that our short trip spilled over to a Tuesday. Because seeing the beige colored narrow streets steeped in history, suddenly light up with colors in the early hours of a lazy morning is terrific. Since we were staying a few minutes away from the village, the drive into the centre was loaded with cover samsung galaxy s7 in pelle surprises. Fresh produce, eager custodia cover iphone 11 pro farmers, live cooking, essential oils with a seductive fragrance, cheese in colors. Wow! Not to forget the wine some very beautifully put together handmade linen.

I am a bit of a trinket fan. And was happy to see a few stalls full of them. https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-galaxy-core-prime-dinosaure-pascher-jil3179 A pity we couldn’t stock up with all the healthy stuff for the week, as we were leaving for Cannes that very day. But given that cover iphone 6 lebron james we cover iphone 8 spritz were staying in a villa with a nicely kept kitchen, the Tuesday market would’ve been just perfect to ‘live the Gordes way’.

3 Church of St. Fermin (L’glise Saint FirminGordes)

Getting lost just sauntering down cover samsung s7 edge libro pathways that emerge from nowhere, doorways that take nature colors, following plants that hug the walls and arches of it makes you feel one with earth. Even the Church that is in the centre slips gently into this pattern. Making little noise that it is a place of worship deserving of a grand and distinctive presence. Isn’t that beautiful, this seamless relationship between man and the divine

The church of St. Fermin was samsung hoesjes built over a very old Romanesque church (12th century) originally dedicated to Notre Dame. This was later consecrated to St. Fermin (Bishop of Uzs) in the 18th century. https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-galaxy-core-prime-danseuse-pascher-jil2890 It has eight cover x cellulari chapels dedicated to different patron saints. All of who had faithful followers in shoemakers, blacksmiths and others. Perhaps at a time when one’s profession was revered, these saints represented the concept of abundance and protection of these sources of livelihood. The interior of the church is colorful but worn out in many parts. I really liked the fact that whether it’s inside or the faade, the church just seemed to blend in through its colors and motifs.

4 Ochre Village of Roussillon (13 km east of Gordes)

Give me a palette of red, maroon, rust, orange, ochre and I’d go the distance even if it were cover samsung galaxy a5 2017 aicek just to see it for a few hours. Roussillon was not on the plan cover samsung g530 and was pretty much a little wish I’d tucked into my pocket. On the last day of our stay in Gordes, on impulse we decided to take swarovski cover samsung s7 a detour to this village on our return to Cannes. So I have just a visual story to share, of a very short time spent here. I have promised myself that I do a much longer stay in this region and this village will be one big stop over.

We had to park our car outside before we got on to the streets that welcomed us with its colors. The energy is in the square rather village center of course, but the color bursts are everywhere. From the fact book I gathered that the dominance of ochre red is because of iron oxide deposits in the soil that goes back millions of years. But the real delight is when you get close to the valley. https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/darty-coque-samsung-j3-pascher-jil2104 It wowed me with a contrast of these vibrant colors iphone cover 6 ebay against the green slopes full of pine custodia cover samsung a50 trees cover samsung express oaks (Check the cover photo of this post). I know there are hiking trails which will get you close to this natural wonder.

5 Snanque Abbey (4 Km from Gordes village square)

I saw the Abbaye Notre Dame de Snanque from atop. We were driving down to the valley and the perfect structure with rows of yet to blossom lavender flowers, was an enticing sight from the road. A medieval abbey this 12th century beauty is home to Cistercian monks, who live a very modest life while managing the upkeep of the place. They are known to work hard to produce honey lavender essence which is also available for visitors to the abbey.

The most unforgettable moment though is when you walk through the gates and come face to face with the rows of lavender right in front of the abbey. My picture this time won’t do justice though it is pretty even with just a hint of purple. You have to imagine the rest or come in mid July.

Plunging into experiences that let you discover something not in your wish list, gives you new stories no I hope my longish share of where to eat my stay in Gordes, as well as this one with some of my favorite attractions, has tempted you enough to choose this village.
