PHOTO+VIDEO | The French village captured in the past, declared the most beautiful in the world
According to the American travel magazine "Travel + Leisure" (Travel + Leisure), the small picturesque place located on top of the rock at an altitude of 340 meters is among the most beautiful villages in the world.
It is the Place Gourde in France, and this jewel of Provence attracts visitors from all over the world every year for its timeless beauty, cultural richness and charm. Now in spring, Gord is especially magical because of all the colors and scents of nature that are worth experiencing.
Gord's history dates back to Roman times, but during the Middle Ages the village took on its present-day configuration of narrow streets, arches, archways, charming houses and a fascinating medieval castle overlooking the valley. It prospered for centuries thanks to agriculture, and is especially known for the production of ceramics, a tradition that continues today.
The beauty of this mythical village lies in its architecture, with neat stone buildings that blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape dominated by majestic nature. Built in the 11th century, extended and renovated throughout the century, Gord Castle is one of the most impressive places worth visiting, and today it offers a magnificent view from its cogwheels and ramparts.
Gord Market is an unmissable event, held every Tuesday morning in the castle square, and is another highlight of the village's cultural life. Visitors can discover local products, handicrafts and souvenirs from this magical French region.
The Gord is also a popular filming location for films and television shows due to its authentic atmosphere.
