The village des boires and Gordes

We visited a village near our house called Gordes.  it was so cool, it was on the side of the mountain and the houses look like they will fall down the hill!!  We walked around the village and there were really steep paths and stairs every where.

Near Gordes is a village which is really old and is made only out of stones with no concrete holding the stones together.  We walked into the old houses - they were really cold inside.  There were places for animals to be kept and houses with tools and old cooking tools, and storage rooms.  They even kept silk worms to make clothes.

The houses were very clever, they were built from stone and made to stop the snow and rain getting in. The people who lived there made and grew everything themselves and didn't have to go to the shops for anything!
