On a recent visit to southern France, I took the opportunity to pay a visit to the lavender fields, which this part of France has become renowned for. Unfortunately I arrived perhaps a week early and the fields were just beginning to show a hint of blue.
However,
my disappointment was soon forgotten when I came across the picturesque small
town of Gordes, where I was happy to spend the afternoon wandering through the
narrow streets.
Gordes - a stunning town, clinging to the side of a steep hillside
in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
region of southeastern France.
The streets of the town are steep and winding - full of restaurants, cáfes and tiny shops selling a myriad of souvenirs and artwork.
At the time of my visit the temperature was into the mid 30C's and many of the private houses were shuttered against the heat.(
