Must-see sites include the Château de Gordes, a 16th-century castle now serving as town hall and museum. The Église Saint-Firmin showcases Provençal Romanesque architecture. Don't miss nearby Abbaye de Sénanque, a 12th-century Cistercian abbey surrounded by lavender fields (best viewed June-July).
Gordes' cuisine reflects Provençal flavors - try Ratatouille, Daube de boeuf (beef stew), and Tapenade. Local markets offer fresh goat cheese and lavender honey. Many restaurants have terraces with panoramic valley views - perfect for summer dining.
