Find hotels in Cordes from £46

The best area to stay in Cordes is within the medieval bastide itself, particularly in and around the upper town.

This historic area is perched on a hilltop, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Its narrow, winding cobblestone streets are lined with well-preserved Gothic buildings, many of which now house artisan shops, galleries, and restaurants. The main squares, like Place de la Bride, are charming spots for a coffee or a meal. Staying here means you're right in the heart of the village's unique character.

Couples will find the upper town particularly appealing for a romantic getaway. The quiet evenings, the historic setting, and the opportunity to explore hand-in-hand make it a memorable experience. Many accommodations here are in renovated historic buildings, adding to the sense of stepping back in time.

For those who prefer easier access and are perhaps travelling with more luggage, staying just below the bastide offers a good compromise. You'll find options with parking and a slightly flatter walk to your accommodation, yet you're still only a short, scenic climb away from the main attractions of the upper town.

The best time to visit Cordes is during the late spring (May to June) or early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

During these shoulder seasons, you'll find comfortable temperatures, ideal for exploring the town's steep, winding streets and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The fewer visitors mean a more relaxed experience when visiting attractions like the Gothic Church of Saint Michel or browsing the artisan shops. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a romantic and unhurried getaway.

The summer months (July and August) are also popular, offering warm, sunny weather and a lively option with various festivals and events. However, this is peak season, so the town can get quite busy, especially around the main square and the viewpoints. Families travelling with children might find the summer months more appealing due to school holidays and the greater chance of outdoor activities.
