Provence, France

Gordes

About this place

Stay in a converted mas with a pool, drive nowhere in particular, and let rosé o'clock arrive when it arrives. Late June catches the lavender at nearby Sénanque Abbey in full purple; book the village's clifftop restaurant terraces ahead, because half of Paris has the same idea.
