Gordes is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Provence region of southern France. The town stands on a rocky hilltop and seems to be floating in space. It has been dubbed the castle in the sky. Men chat in a café said to have been opened by a revolutionary a century ago and a girl and a kitten bask in the sun... We stroll through the town's distinctive alleyways and touch the warmth of these people who dwell surrounded by stone.
