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
