FAQs

The following are questions and answers to help you on your merry way to Gordes.
Question

Why Gordes, France?

Answer

Jessica studied in Avignon during college and instantly fell in love with the area and the language. She always knew she wanted to get married in the area, and she convinced Steve it was a good idea. Plus she now speaks French again, and it's really fun to listen to.

Question

What's the best way to get there?

Answer

We are most familiar with flying into Paris and taking the fast train (the TGV) to Avignon then renting a car to drive to Gordes. Please refer to our Travel page for the travel options to Gordes.

Question

Do I have to speak French?

Answer

Not really. But maybe try and learn the hellos, goodbyes, and "can I have another glass of wine, please?"

Question

Can I Air B N B?

Answer

Definitely. There are a ton of options very close to the village of Gordes. It also seems like a lot of them have pools, which is a major bonus if you're into that sort of thing.

Question

Any cool history of Gordes I should know about?

Answer

Yes. A lot of artists lived there. Par exemple, see https://www.francetoday.com/travel/gordes-provences-trendier-village/. Et aussi, https://www.avignon-et-provence.com/en/tourism-provence/gordes.

Question

I've never been to France. Do I have to smoke cigs?

Answer

No, you can be smoke-free in France.

Question

Is French cheese as good as Wisconsin cheese?

Answer

No. But it's pretty close. (Jessica vehemently disagrees.)

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Wedding is formal attire. Tux or suit. Get fabulous and fancy.

Question

Is there anything to drink other than wine in France?

Answer

Yeah? But why would you?

Question

Who was more of a wedding-zilla during this whole process?

Answer

Both of us were kind of a nightmare.
