Les Bories Luxury Hotel and a Spa Hidden in Gordes

Cheryl Shufflebotham · Hotels Provence & Cote d'Azur · Living in Provence · Stay: Accommodation & Rentals in Provence

Secluded in a 20-acre aromatic park of olive and cypress trees, lavender, rosemary, and thyme is a hidden little retreat called les Bories, which is located on a quiet road across from Gordes. Les Bories is a five-star luxury hotel with a beautiful spa that offers extensive treatments.

So in keeping with my tradition of getting a massage while my husband is biking away in a cyclist’s paradise

Distracted by Marseille’s traffic, we almost missed the sign indicating a sharp right turn towards Le Petit Nice. Once you make that turn, you are committed.

Cheryl Shufflebotham

Although, Cheryl and her husband live in upstate New York, she tells us that she is always yearning, planning, maneuvering to make her way back to France.

Cheryl's love for France started almost eleven years ago with "a once in a lifetime" ten-year anniversary trip. These wannabe expats have been back every year since that trip!

Cheryl's first French love is the region of Burgundy, but then a few years ago, she discovered Provence. Now she admits that she is torn between Burgundy and Provence. It sounds like Provence has her spellbound, "I can’t quite put a finger on what it is about Provence, but its intoxication keeps luring me back for more."

Cheryl started her blog Cobblestone and Vineyards to explore the simple charms of France, those small details that capture the heart.

    Just a little ‘bonjour’ Cheryl to let you know I’ve been enjoying
    your Instagram posts (I think we follow each other), and am
    happy to discover your website. I too love Goult, and have
    been spending a little bit of every summer there for the
    last 20 years!
