GORDES

This area has "Bories" that look very similar to the Beehive huts of Clochans in Ireland.  There's a whole village of them near there although I didn't go as I have visited many beehive huts including those wonderful ones on the Skelligs.  Here though they were used until the 18th C although they were built in the Bronze Age.  Some here are even 2 storey.  They were again used as wine cellars, storage places and workshops and are unmortared limestone.
Gordes is again a lovely village and has many tourists.  I rambled around a bit and went in to the main Chateau.
