This week, we’re trading the hustle of the Champs-Élysées for the hush of honey-colored stone and sunlit terraces.

 

In this episode of our “Skip Paris and…” series, I’m taking you to Gordes, a village that whispers luxury, lives slowly, and invites you to savor instead of scroll.

 

From its rich resistance-era history to a secret underground city and panoramic views that feel like a cinematic dream, Gordes isn’t just a destination...it’s an energy.

We’ll explore the beauty, the elegance, and the deep stillness that makes Gordes a soul-shifting experience.

 

I’ll also share:

• Why Gordes is the ultimate example of quiet luxury
• What happened when I took retreat guests to see the sunrise there (goosebumps!)
• The 5-star hotel that’s carved into the cliffs—and dripping in elegance
• The secret underground world hidden beneath the village that most tourists miss
• And why Gordes is less “look at me” and more “come be with me”

 

If you’ve been craving more elegance, more ease, and more magic in your life this is the episode to light your fire.
