France - Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur

Gourdon

Endeared as one of France’s most beautiful villages, Gourdon is an unspoiled gem that commands an absolutely spectacular setting as it hugs and clings to the walls of the steep hillside. Vistas from the village look north down the Loup Canyon or southeast over the countryside dotted with villages of sun-washed stucco and tiled roofs to the glistening water of the distant Riviera. On clear days you can see from Nice to the Italian border. The village’s cobbled streets are lined with delightful, untouristy shops and a handful of restaurants. Le Nid d’Aigle on the Place Victoria is a restaurant whose terraces step daringly down the hillside.
