about
The property captures Gordes and the Luberon at their most luminous and serene. Perched above the village, it opens onto sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Natural materials, craftsmanship and timeworn finishes create interiors deeply rooted in regional savoir-faire. Throughout the house and gardens, a curated collection of contemporary artworks forms a true artistic journey.
Lavender, olive trees and complete tranquillity... Provence at its most authentic.

The destination
Gordes and the Luberon
At the heart of the Luberon, Gordes overlooks the valley from its rocky outcrop. Around the village, lavender fields, olive groves, garrigue and dry-stone walls shape the landscape. A luminous, mineral Provence sculpted by the terrain and the mistral.
One of the Luberon's most iconic hilltop villages, Gordes has long attracted artists and photographers drawn to its light and mineral beauty. Among them, Chagall and Vasarely, captivated by its unique blend of heritage, nature and Provençal art de vivre.

Entirely personalised days combining exclusive experiences, local encounters and meaningful moments at the House.
The Chef & the Table
at the heart of the House
Led by the Chef, dining moves beyond convention to become a convivial, effortless and spontaneous experience. Far more than a succession of meals, it accompanies every moment of the day, from the first flavours of the morning to the most thoughtful gestures, in an approach that is both relaxed and deeply generous.
A seasonal cuisine inspired by guests’ wishes, local produce and the natural rhythm of the House.

Design & art
GORDES, a Haven for artists
Drawn by its light and mineral beauty, generations of artists, from Chagall to Vasarely, found inspiration in Gordes. Guided by the notions of illusion, movement and perception central to optical and kinetic art, the property unfolds as an artistic journey of its own, both indoors and throughout the gardens. Conceived alongside curator Joséphine Fossey, the collection brings together around forty contemporary works, including several monumental pieces created especially for the house.
Interior Design : Jérémie du Chaffaut
Art Curation : Joséphine Fossey
Interior architect and founder of design house Midi, Jérémie du Chaffaut develops an approach deeply rooted in his native Provence and its artisanal traditions. Inspired by local heritage, natural materials and Southern decorative arts, he envisioned Les Hauts de Gordes as a warm and luminous retreat, balancing Provençal simplicity, bespoke furnishings and conviviality.
For several years, Joséphine Fossey has developed a multidisciplinary practice spanning creative direction, interior architecture and curation. She creates places where art, design and experience form a coherent and deeply sensitive whole. She curated the artistic programme alongside Thibaud Elzière and Robin Michel.
Gaultier Rimbault-Joffard's work sits at the crossroads of drawing, architecture and sculpture. Shaped by materials, light and furniture, his practice combines spontaneity with graphic poetry.
For Les Hauts de Gordes, he designed the property's entrance gate, conceived as an invitation into the house's artistic journey through light and optical illusion.
Based in Porto, French artist Victor Marqué develops an instinctive practice centred on drawing, geometry and totemic forms. Balancing architecture, rhythm and materiality, his works explore a subtle dialogue between symmetry and imperfection. For the house, he created a painting and a series of bespoke sculptures with striking mineral forms.
