Description
-o§o- To illustrate one more time this fall season's outing in the Provence region, south of Lyons, I've chosen this view of the small city of Gordes (pronounced [go:rd]), that proudly faces the northern face of the Luberon mountain range. For a French 'Northerner' like me, such a village architecture is totally different from the historical and traditional architecture standards we can see over here, with these gently sloping tile rooftops, huddled together as if they were overlapping with each other_ perhaps to get a kind of protection from the strong and cold 'mistral' wind that surely blow the rainy clouds away but brings in instead a chilly and continuous breeze to the region as a compensation for showers and drizzle !
-o§o- Besides, the differences between Northern and Southern France are shown here, with the vegetation and tree species, such as the lanky dark green cypress which is a typical Mediterranean tree species, along with the olive trees, for instance.
-o§o- The little city of Gordes has received an official award as being one of the most beautiful villages in France, and I have no intention whatsoever of opposing this decision !
-o§o- Thank you so much for your nice comments on my latest Provençal photo taken in Lourmarin, have a nice week everyone, and enjoy this wonderful Indian summer colours all around ...Please zoom in for more atmospheric details!

Beautiful photo.
Outstanding scenery!
Quel superbe village accroché aux collines du Lubéron! Magnifique photo, Jean-Luc!
Wow! Une photographie qui continue de nous montrer la beauté du sud de la France. Ta série provençale est une véritable publicité pour mes prochaines vacances d'été. 😃🌞 Comme tu soulignes bien, cette région du sud est tellement différente de ce que nous pouvons voir par chez nous. La végétation est typique avec ces cyprès et ces oliviers... Merci de nous faire voyager et de partager ces petits bonheurs avec nous !
C'est une très belle vue de ce village en pente, et les chanceux qui ont une terrasse au-dessus de leur maison doivent avoir une super vue sur la montagne.......magnifique photo, Jean-Luc !
Superbe point de vue l'ami
A most fantastic image and beautiful village! Thanks so much for sharing your travels with us! Very much appreciated!
Awesome capture of this rural village !!

A lovely village and a marvelous photo!
Wow, this is a beautiful view of a beautiful town. An excellent photo. Thank you for all the wonderful details of the region, too!
These are such beautiful images of that town. I would love to go see this place.
சிறப்பான இயற்கைக்காட்சி!
beautiful !
EXCELLENT TAKE
Totalement d'accord, Gordes est un bijou et ta superbe photo lui rend un bel hommage. Ma seule réserve concerne les prix pratiqués à certains endroits. Quant aux plus beaux villages de France, il y a beaucoup à dire compte tenu de l’aspect hautement commercial de la chose ! Cadratins magnifiques villages n'y sont plus, d'autres ne méritant pas le déplacement en font partie...je suis ça de très près et j'ai visité plus de 50% de ces villages.
What a beautiful shot! I'd love to visit there someday.
Magnifique prise vue de ce village ensoleillé et plein de charme, la luminosité automnale le met en valeur sans oublier le talent et la maîtrise du photographe... bravo et mes compliments pour cette merveilleuse photo !!
Right on the money for content and finish. Truly beautiful photographic work!
J'ai reconnu Gordes tout de suite : j'ai habité dans le Luberon pendant plusieurs années. Il y avait un très beau musée Vasarely dans le château autrefois. Je passais souvent à Gordes en vélo...Nostalgie, nostalgie...
This wonderful photograph does a great job at capturing the beauty of Gordes. The village bellow looks so beautiful and full of charm...you must have had fun exploring it! Thank's for sharing this with us! :-)
très belle photographie , entre civilisation et beauté sauvage de la nature
Jean-Luc, this is such a marvelous presentation. I wanted to drop in and it truly did lift my spirits.
This is one gorgeous and outstanding landscape picture Jean-Luc.....love the beautiful city view.
A marvelous catch!
Très belle photo, Gordes est en effet l'emblème du Luberon, il est très joli, malheureusement c'est devenu une sorte de Saint Tropez. Il n'y a plus une maison, même à restaurer qui ne se vende pas à prix d'or. La rançon de la gloire sans doutes.
Merveilleuse photo, merci de nous faire visiter et pour le partage !!
Beautiful photo! The village looks wonderful keeping the old architecture! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this fantastic architecture, as for your words underneath. I'm very impressed by this photo in many ways. Yes, I can understand why this is chosen for one of the most beautiful villages of France, thank you so much for sharing.
Wonderful capture, I really wished to live there as well!
