Driving towards Gourdon from the south it almost seems impossible that a village could be squeezed so high up on such a small perch, and the nickname “Nid d’Aigle” (Eagle’s Nest) couldn’t be more apt.
The cute stone village is not much more than a couple of streets, but the views 700 metres above the Loup Valley will leave you lost for words.
The château is from the 1100s, and although you can’t go inside at the moment you can pass a refined few minutes in the parterre, designed by André Le Nôtre of Versailles fame.
Gourdon is an excursion for early birds as its wild popularity leaves this tiny settlement heaving with tourists on summer afternoons.
