Panorama of a beautiful hilltop village among the fields of Provence.

A stitched panoramic image seems to do a better job in relaying the breathtaking beauty of Gordes and its surroundings. The place is a "must visit" if you find yourself wandering around Provence (near Avignon).

Yeah, apparently, even French people aren't so familiar with this place. Definitely a must-see!
