The setting
Airelles Gordes, La Bastide occupies 61 Rue de la Combe within the ramparts of Gordes, one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France," perched 340 metres above the Luberon valley on a limestone promontory inhabited since Gallo-Roman times. The property forms part of the original village fortifications, placing guests three minutes on foot from the 11th-century Château de Gordes and the troglodyte Caves du Palais Saint Firmin. Artists from Marc Chagall to Victor Vasarely settled here mid-20th century, drawn by the singular Provençal light, while lavender fields and olive groves define the surrounding landscape. The Village des Bories dry-stone huts lie 24 minutes by car, making this clifftop village a base for exploring the Luberon.
