Les Baux de Provence and its surroundings.
The Baux
de Provence is one of the most renowned sites of Provence.
The medieval village is located in the Alpilles, perched on a rocky outcrop
with steep cliffs, dominated by the ruins of a great medieval fortress.
The village of Les Baux de Provence is reminiscent of an eagle's nest,
the scenery is spectacular and attracts many tourists each year. The town
was gradually deserted by its inhabitants from the 17th century and almost
abandoned in the 19th century to the villages of the plain below: Maussane
and Paradou. Les Baux de Provence has maintained the pace of the village
as it was during the Renaissance, it has been beautifully restored, it
is surely a must for visitors who travel to the region. The landscape
around Les Baux de Provence are spectacular: the Val d'Enfer offers a
vision of strange rock formations sculpted by wind and rain. The Castle
of Baux de Provence is open to visit, events are held regularly.
