Memories of my childhood drinking a mente a l’au with my grandpa 👴 The village is beautifully kept 👌 Worth the visit
Very pleasant! The ambience was very quiet and there were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy. There are also plenty of nice shops/restaurants nearby!
Highest point in this ancient town. One has to climb up the steep streets to reach here. Not recommended to bring a child stroller as the streets are full of ancient stones and bricks so it os pretty hard to move it. The hall has sitting arrangements from the bars/shops nearby. Looks a happening place but when we visited in the evening it was not much crowded.
The restaurant with the best view. Good food and friendly staff. Enjoy Cordes sur Ciel and it's surrounding.
Cold, nevertheless a little wine bar was open.So you could have a cheeky little,rose with an apero.
Visiting cordes-sur-ciel is very worth it !!!
Highest point in town. I Love Cordes sur Ciel.... Can't wait to get back! Centuries of history Have passed under this rooftop. Fantastic views of the hilltops from the wall. Sighting equipment available.
Lovely place worth a visit can get busy in the height off the season

Very interesting. Amazing chocolate pieces.
One of the best ice-cream shops I have ever been to, could easily compete with the best Italian ice-cream parlours. Highly recommend salted caramel (perfect creamy texture), chocolate, alphonso mango and pink grapefruit (very refreshing and not too sweet). Great that all ice creams are made in-house.
Small but nice museum with friendly staff, some wonderful pieces of sugar- and chocolate art on display plus some short films playing about preparation. Small degustation afterwards is awesome and on itself already worth the entrance fee
A fine and substantial collection of spun sugar art, mainly statuettes of real and imagined figures, master Thuries probably best of kind. Not much interpretation or results of chocolate making though there are plenty to buy. Sometimes there are confectionery demonstrations and free samples though if busy you can wait a while for your turn. Is it worth the money? Not for me but my wife liked it and the granddaughters loved the figures. Takes about half an hour.
Attention to detail was superb. Very enjoyable tour. The staff were very informative and really friendly. Thank you 'The Irish on tour'!
Very clever exhibits and good testimony to the many hours taken to create them. Visit to this Bastide was memorable.
So kitsch. Waste of money and time. Lousy tasting. You can enjoy some a/c.
Reality didn' t live up to my expectations.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church to visit and look at from every angle, the details, the height, it's really very beautiful (Original) Une très belle église à visiter et à regarder sous toutes les coutures, les détails, la hauteur, c'est vraiment très beau
The Middle Ages church is a museum. I'm glad to see you.
A typically French town highly recommended to walk through its streets enjoying its medieval construction where its church stands out with its tall tower
Worth a visit. Very beautiful
Nice little church.
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church. Open in the afternoons. Don't hesitate to take a quiet and peaceful visit 👍 (Original) Très belle église. Ouverte les après midis. Ne pas hésiter à y faire une petite visite calme et apaisante 👍
(Translated by Google) Magnificent stone church in the historic center. (Original) Magnifique église en pierre dans le centre historique.
(Translated by Google) The imposing Saint-Michel church dominates Cordes-sur-Ciel. Built in the 13th century, it surprises with its sober and massive Gothic architecture, quite different from the large, richly decorated cathedrals. Inside, you'll discover a vast, light-filled space, colorful stained-glass windows, and a meditative atmosphere that invites calm. Located in the heart of the city, it remains a must-see during your visit. (Original) L’église Saint-Michel domine Cordes-sur-Ciel avec son allure imposante. Construite au XIIIe siècle, elle surprend par son architecture gothique sobre et massive, bien différente des grandes cathédrales richement décorées. À l’intérieur, on découvre un vaste espace lumineux, des vitraux colorés et une atmosphère recueillie qui invite au calme. Située au cœur de la cité, elle reste un lieu incontournable lors de la visite.

You must visit here! The tataki tuna, cappuccino, and ice cream with whipped cream were all amazing. Even if you don’t eat the delicious food, take the chance to explore and sit in the peaceful garden. Frog pond, swinging benches, lily pads, amazing views.
Fabulous place to visit - wish we had had longer! 😍
Beautiful gardens, so many hidden relaxing seating places for you to go and read a book in. 4€ to enter and enjoy your day. Not huge gardens but well kept
Be sure to wear mosquito repellent! It's lovely but my goodness we were overwhelmed!
What is there not to like about a magic garden perched on the side of one of France’s most beautiful villages. A gem!
A wonderful space of tranquility and peace in a lovely town. A great inclusion to any trip to Cordes!
Lovely place where you can enjoy a local drink and a delicious ice-cream, or simply lose yourself in the hammocks. A wide variety of exotic plants is also to be gazed upon!
Nice, local food and wine.

A hidden gem. Very very genuine owner who owns a very good selection of wine. I can see that the owner has true love for the wine he has. If you are a wine lover and happen to come by this is a must come.
Made to feel very uneasy. Was asked lots of very odd questions and couldn’t get out quick enough. He may well have decent wines but he doesn’t deserve the custom. Go elsewhere.
Owner was horrible. Card machine wasn’t working but there were no signs saying this. When my friend tapped her card the owner started calling us stupid and asking if we were from the moon. Do not buy from here.
Very rude, bitter man who makes you feel very uncomfortable. Would not recommend
(Translated by Google) Nice shop where you take the time to chat with its owner who is quite an original! You will find good local products and very good wine. We liked the friendliness and quality of the products, plus the obvious store owner. (Original) Sympathique boutique où l’on prend le temps d’échanger avec son propriétaire qui est plutôt un original ! Vous trouverez de bons produits du terroir et du très bon vin. Nous avons aimé la convivialité et la qualité des produits, en plus du propriétaire du magasin évident.
(Translated by Google) A small shop that's worth a stop. The wine merchant is passionate and will guide your selection very accurately. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. (Original) Petite boutique qui merite un arrêt. Le caviste est un passionné qui saura guider tres justement votre choix. De plus les tarifs sont tout a fait raisonnables
(Translated by Google) I want to give 5 stars in contrast perhaps with some lower reviews. Very pleasant person, I was able to taste a wine, ask for advice, I was not at all pushed to purchase. (Original) J'ai envie de mettre 5 étoiles en contraste peut être avec certains avis plus bas. Personne très agréable, j'ai pu goûter un vin, demander conseil, je n'ai pas du tout été poussé à l'achat.
(Translated by Google) A cellar like in the past. The owner is certainly a little surprising at first glance, but gives good advice and does not push consumption. Surprisingly reasonable prices for a winery located in the heart of this very touristy village. (Original) Une cave comme autrefois. Le propriétaire est certes un peu surprenant de prime abord, mais est de bon conseil et ne pousse pas à la consommation. Prix étonnamment raisonnables pour une cave située en plein cœur de ce village très touristique.
