On the first slopes of the Monts de Vaucluse, facing the Luberon, the village des Bories, with its sheep pens, bread ovens, wine vats, wheat beating areas, alleys, enclosures and walls, bears witness to the laborious activity of countless generations. Nearly 3000 years of continuity, since the origin of the bories dates back to the Bronze Age, and the most recent ones were built in the 18th century. The Village des Bories, classified as a historical monument in 1977, is the most important collection of this dry-stone habitat, characteristic of the area around Apt, whose highest concentration of these buildings is found near Gordes.
