Just a few kilometers on from the Fountaine was the
bastide town of Gordes, another beautiful village, or, wait, no, a
classe village (I think it's probably a matter of how many turbusses a village can handle...), which we visited on October 16th.

Tons of flat rock around, lending itself to the building of fences |
 |
And also of these corballed structures, similar to the Oratory
of Gallarus, in Ireland, but a thousand years younger; there is
an entire village of them, reconstructed; called bories;
residents of Gordes seem to have converted them to out-
buildings, garages... |
 |
Anyhow, after parking at the aire, we walked up the 2k to
the town and were rewarded with great views |
