The hilltop town of Gourdon, sits like an eagles aerie in the Maritime Alps just inland of France's famed Riviera town of Cannes. It's a wonderful little ancient village perched, almost precariously, atop a mountain, providing for a spectacular drive-up as well as tremendous views once you've arrived.
The shopping is excellent, with local shops and artisans, and the tour of the castle is a glimpse into Europe's medieval past. I strongly recommend stopping for a time to wander the streets, savor the food, sample a little of the local wine, and enjoy the inspiring view from your bistro table.
