Why visit Gourdon?
The main reason is the setting. From Place Victoria and the village viewpoints, the landscape opens across the Loup valley towards the Mediterranean. Stone houses, small workshops and terraces make the compact village pleasant to explore slowly.
How long should you spend in Gourdon?
Two to three hours are enough for the village and viewpoints. For a full day, combine Gourdon with the Gorges du Loup, Pont-du-Loup or Grasse.
Is Gourdon suitable for families?
The centre is compact and mostly pedestrian, but steep slopes, cobbles and exposed viewpoints mean young children need supervision.
What can you visit around Gourdon?
Grasse is the most natural continuation for perfume and a historic old town. On the way back towards the coast, Mougins is another worthwhile stop.
Where to stay when visiting Gourdon?
Gourdon works best as a hinterland day trip rather than a place where you need to change accommodation. From Port d’Attache, combine Gourdon with Grasse and return to Vallauris in the evening.
