The French words “sur ciel” translate to “on the sky” and Cordes-sur-Ciel is essentially that - a town on the sky! This hilltop town was built in 1222 and, despite its amazing natural beauty, it wasn’t a very popular tourist destination until recently. Many people come to visit this cliffside town to marvel at its amazing architecture and old history as a heritage destination.
Cordes-sur-Ciel hosts a museum dedicated to chocolate and sugar that has many artistic pieces made entirely of sugar or chocolate, some dating back to the middle ages. The Jardin des Paradis (Garden of Paradise) is also another popular tourist attraction, where guests can marvel at the plant life from all around. Book a stay at one of the best Airbnbs in Cordes-sur-Ciel, France.
