Pick-up
Name sign at the station, train tracked. How the station pick-up works.
The route
The driver takes the A7 to Cavaillon, then the Coustellet road and climbs up to Gordes.
Arriving in Gordes
Gordes village
Drop-off at your hotel, or at the village car park if your rental is in the pedestrian centre.
Farmhouses in the countryside
Many rentals have no precise address: send a location or the farmhouse name.
From the TGV to the Luberon, no car needed
Reaching the Luberon without a car is often complicated: a connection, then a rare taxi. With a private driver, the driver waits at the train exit at Saint-Charles and drops you in Gordes.
On the way back, he picks you up in good time for your train.
Sénanque and its lavender
Notre-Dame-de-Sénanque abbey, founded in the 12th century by Cistercians, is still home to a community of monks. Its lavender field, in bloom from late June to mid-July, appears on thousands of postcards. The church and cloister are visited by reservation, in silence.
Gordes itself draws many visitors in summer, and parking is paid and limited. With a private driver you are dropped in the centre, then taken on to Sénanque, the Village des Bories or Roussillon as you wish.
Reaching Gordes from Paris
Many travellers from Paris take the TGV to Marseille or Avignon. From Saint-Charles, allow 1 hr 20 to Gordes; the driver tracks your train and waits even if it is late. For a longer stay, several Gordes hotels offer pools and valley views: remember to book your return transfer to Saint-Charles or Avignon TGV too.
