Introduction

The Stone City, also known as Gordes or Gordes Village, is a small town in Provence, France. It is located on the southern ridge of the Vaucluse Mountains, at an altitude of 370 meters, and has a population of about 2,000 permanent residents. The medieval architecture is the most prominent feature of the Stone City, and the entire town is built up of granite from the mountains, giving it a floating house look. Its unique geographical location and architecture style make it a unique and charming town, attracting countless tourists. In addition to the old buildings such as castles, churches, and stairs, the blooming flowers around also bring tranquility and vitality to the town. If you head 2 kilometers north from the Stone City, you will come to the famous Senanque Abbey. Although the lavender fields here are not large in scale, the entire valley landscape is known as "one of the most beautiful valleys in France."
