The location:

In the heart of the Luberon regional park Gordes is listed as one of the “most beautiful villages in France” and is a favourite off-the-beaten-track destination with the jet set.
Gordes is a small picturesque village with a population of just over 2 200. The village’s star attraction is its 11th century Chateau housing the museum Pol Mara, dedicated to the Flemish painter who lived in Gordes. Other sites of interest are the Abbeys, ancient hamlets and watermills, for which Provence is famous.
Tall cypress trees pointing towards the bright blue skies, fields of deep-blue lavender and picturesque villages dotted around a landscape of vineyards… in the heart of the famous Côtes du Rhône wine territory the department of the Vaucluse best epitomizes the essence of true “Provence”. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Beaumes de Venise, Gigondas are just some of the mouth-watering local appellations…
Throughout the year art exhibitions, concerts and folkloric events are organised for the benefit of the locals, the many tourists and part-time residents. Orange is renowned for its opera festival (Les Chorégies d’Orange), which takes place during July and August.

The local markets are laden with fresh local produce and other specialties such as honey, lavender, pottery and the famous Carpentras truffle - the Black Diamond at 700 EUR a kilo. The commerce of fresh truffles early in the morning at the Carpentras market is an event in itself!
The Luberon regional park offers a large array of white water sports activities as well as countless other activities such as climbing, hiking etc. A short trip south will take you to the Languedoc beaches and the Camargue region, a little further the “Alpes de Haute Provence”, offer ski resorts and historic cities such as Gap and Sisteron, west will take you into the Languedoc and the cities of Nîmes and Montpellier….


Our opinion:

An attractive yield, coupled with several flexible options for personal occupancy make le Domaine de l’Enclos the perfect “lifestyle” investment.
