In Provence, a "calade" is a cobblestone street paved with limestone stones placed vertically on their edge.
A street paved in donkey step fashion is a paved street with large successive encased landings separated by very low steps, the length of which is calculated in such a way that the next step is approached from the animal’s other hoof. These steps made it easier for the many donkeys and mules to walk in Gordes since they were the only way to carry heavy loads in the steep, narrow streets.
