L'abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque est un monastère cistercien en activité, et situé sur la commune de Gordes, dans le Vaucluse.
Fondé en 1148, il devient abbaye en 1150. Celle-ci fait partie, avec l'abbaye de Silvacane et l'abbaye du Thoronet, des « trois sœurs provençales », qui témoignent du grand rayonnement de l’ordre cistercien en Provence.
Aujourd'hui prieuré de l'abbaye de Lérins, le monastère, situé dans le vallon où coule la Sénancole, est toujours occupé par une communauté de 6 moines cisterciens de la congrégation cistercienne de l’Immaculée Conception.
Monument historique
1 Chemin de l'Abbaye de Senanque 84220 Gordes

Everyone chooses a place to live, a place that suits the resident. In architecture, it is valuable for each residential location to have the opportunity to give it its own unique identity. The variety of facades with doors, windows, balconies, gardens and more gives every house its own appearance. Together this forms a map of the community that is recognizable to everyone.
In modern architecture with sleek, especially repetitive housings, everyone seems equal. But the community then loses color, the unique character of the residents is then almost invisible. Residents express this indoors, which is rarely visible to everyone. It creates a multitude of closedness in a place where we should be able to live together happily and healthily.

Some cave dwellings from ancient times and some 12th century houses and building. A unique view in this nice village.
It's some stairs to go to reach the old upper town area but worth the climb. It's a very nice area to walk in a more authentic area with lots of ancient houses, all constructed right below the huge limestone rockformation above. Along the way some nice panoramas at the Dordogne river below. At the end of this road you'll find a very nice botanical garden, "Bambousaie de la Roque-Gageac", with lots of huge tropical plants like banana- and palm trees and a impressive bamboo forrest. Absolutely a good reason to visit this very nice French village.

A few chairs and a table. Worn out but every year still there. It's a common view in many French villages, people are used to take a seat outside in many months of the year.
It's one of those excellent places to sit and enjoy this medieval town. It looks a bit worn out but that's because of frequent use, a French custom. Imagine, just add a nice French coffee, a crispy Croissant and the local newspaper. It's one of those many healthy moments of peace in the outdoors.
Over the years, not much has really changed in this corner, at most the grape stump with fresh green leaves in early spring and to see how the grape bunches mature during the summer and autumn. Who wouldn't want to have their own terrace like this, and the time and opportunity to use it almost the whole year round.

Un joli port de pêche... et de plaisance ! Avec sa jetée en arrondi construite en 1840 et longue de 200 m, La Flotte vit au rythme du ballet des bateaux qui animent les quais toute l'année. A l'intérieur, les ruelles paisibles et fleuries alignent ses maisons basses dont la blancheur des murs offre un fond lumineux aux tableaux des volets verts ou bleus.
Shops at medieval town centre. Some of the goods have changed but it looks like it has been like this and been here for ages.

La génoise est une « fermeture d'avant-toit » (la face inférieure d'un avant-toit) formée de plusieurs rangs (de un à quatre, rarement plus) de tuiles-canal en encorbellement sur le mur.
Le rôle de la génoise est d'une part d'éloigner les eaux de ruissellement de la façade comme une corniche, et d'autre part de supporter et continuer le pan versant de toit.
Comme son nom l'indique, la génoise est originaire de l'Italie et ce sont probablement des maçons venant de Gênes qui auraient apporté cette particularité d'abord en Provence puis dans tout le sud de la France, dans la zone où domine la tuile canal. La technique s'appelait « à la génoise », « à la façon génoise », genovesa en provençal. Les premiers écrits s'y rapportant datent des années 1630-1640. La génoise connaît un grand essor dès cette époque. Le nombre de rangs est parfois considéré comme un témoignage du statut social : les maisons modestes ont deux rangs, les propriétaires plus aisés en ont trois, quatre et jusqu'à cinq. Mais on peut aussi considérer qu’un plus grand nombre de rangs augmente la largeur du débord de toiture, et donc la protection, en fonction de la nécessité : une maison plus grande et plus haute, donc a priori plus « riche », nécessitant un débord plus important. Les variantes stylistiques des génoises dépendent essentiellement des modes et des usages locaux. Auparavant, et pour la plupart des constructions modestes, l'avant-toit était fait des extrémités des chevrons apparents et de planches, donc sujets au pourrissement et exposés aux risques d’incendie. Aux XVIIIème et XIXème siècles, les demeures riches remplacent les génoises par des corniches de pierre plus ou moins ornementées, mais l’usage se maintient pour les constructions plus modestes.
The antique shop "La Petit Credence" is one of the few nice shops at the Place de Cornieres. They really add to this 13th-century village centre with a very nice townsquare. The ancient arcade is a very nice place to walk and still so very much alive.
