What is there to see and do in Les Baux-de-Provence?
Les Baux-de-Provence is packed with attractions well worth the detour.
The must-see is the Château des Baux, a medieval fortress perched on a rocky outcrop with breathtaking views over the Alpilles massif. The impressive remains and historical reconstructions will plunge you into the fascinating history of the lords of Les Baux.
The Carrières de Lumières are a unique experience. These ancient quarries host immersive exhibitions where works of art are projected onto huge walls to the sound of spellbinding music.
Don't miss a stroll through the narrow streets of the village, listed as one of the most beautiful in France. You'll discover the partly troglodyte Saint-Vincent church, the Pénitents Blancs chapel with its frescoes by Yves Brayer, and several interesting museums.
The surrounding area also offers a wide range of excursions, including hikes in the Alpilles, visits to oil mills, AOC Baux-de-Provence wine tastings and trips to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Arles.
When to visit Baux-de-Provence?
Choosing the right period is crucial to making the most of your stay in Les Baux-de-Provence.
The best period is from April to June and from September to October. These months offer an ideal climate, with mild temperatures (between 20 and 25°C), little rainfall and magnificent light that sublimates the landscapes.
If possible, avoid July and August, when the village is overrun by tourists and the heat can be overwhelming (often over 30°C). Queues at attractions grow longer and accommodation prices rise.
Winter is not to be dismissed altogether. Although cooler, it offers a more intimate atmosphere with fewer visitors. The village takes on the appearance of a Provencal crib, especially during the Christmas festivities.
Spring, however, is a magical time, when nature awakens, the almond trees bloom and the terraces come alive. A sight not to be missed!
In conclusion, Les Baux-de-Provence offers a wide range of quality accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. Whether you're looking for absolute luxury, a family setting or a romantic retreat, you'll find what you're looking for in this enchanting corner of Provence.
Hôtel Les Petites Maisons - Hameau des Baux and Baumanière are two addresses we particularly appreciate for their unique character and exceptional service. But each of these establishments has its own charm and deserves to be discovered.
