An imposing sundial
While walking, I took a detour to the village of Gordes where I could admire the castle. Gordes Castle was built in the eleventh century, then rebuilt in the 16th, which explains why you'll find both Renaissance and Middle Ages architecture mixed together. The mixture is really quite charming and surprising. I was particularly impressed by the south facade, with its sundial, where medieval watchtowers and windows mingle with mullions and crosspieces of the Renaissance.
