Gourdon

The beautiful perched small medieval village of Gourdon is located on a small hill with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and the old village streets are arranged in a circle around the ancient center. The main street is a “ring road” that circles the inner Medieval village, and most of the shops and stores are along this main street. There are shops for just about everything here, including one of our favorite types: an ancient, small hardware-household shop that has absolutely everything.

There are lots of terrace cafés along the main drag, so sitting in the shade and watching the world go buy is an easy option here. The old town streets are very interesting, well worth wandering through, examining ancient architecture, carved wooden doorways, or heading up to the top for the great view.
