View of Gordes
Highlight • Viewpoint
From here you have a fantastic view of the old town with its Gordes Castle, which stands on a rocky peak about 360 meters high and rises about 300 meters above the valley level. The view of the mountain village is simply stunning, especially at sunrise.

View of the Notre-Dame de Sénanque Abbey
Highlight • Historical Site
From the D 177 country road you can see the monastery almost from a bird's eye view. It is a wonderful sight, especially in early summer, when the lavender fields in front of the monastery building bloom in bright purple colors.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse
Highlight • Monument
Its flow is enormous: it is ranked fifth in the world with an annual flow of 630 to 700 million cubic meters. The beauty of this natural site makes it one of the most visited places in the department. In the past, it attracted many poets and writers who came to meditate here: Petrarch, Chateaubriand, Frédéric Mistral and René Char are a few examples.
A word of advice: in the height of the tourist season, go and visit the source early in the morning, because the flow of tourists is also significant.
