Doreen, though, thought it would be nice to drive to Gordes, a mountain village east of Avignon. Needless to say, we didn't have a great map, but we soldiered on.
This is our first view of Gordes:
It was a real medieval village, a walled town, that had given itself over to the tourist trade. The drive was sort of harrowing, and the road was very narrow. You don't get a good feel for how steep it was from this photo:
But it did feel like you were on top of the world.
There was an old castle in town:
that had been turned into the Hotel de Ville (city hall)
On the way out, we saw more grapevines, as above.
