Gourdon on Google Maps
The little medieval village of Gourdon, a few dozen kilometers from Cannes and the French Riviera built by the Romans on the top of a rocky spur to dominate the road from Digne to the sea, in the 12th century became one of the key places to controll the goods which came down from the plateaus to the sea and vice versa. Today it is a renowned tourist village full of art galleries, craft shops, distilleries and restaurants where you can taste typical dishes of the region.
