Sat on the top of a hill that rises from the Luberon Valley, the picturesque village of Gordes dominates the green and blue skyline and boasts truly spectacular views over the lavender fields. None of which is more spectacular than the field of Senanque Abbey, a 12th century church established by Cistercian monks.
