Bouc Bel Air

Bouc Bel Air is an agreeable village strategically situated between the two large cities of Aix en Provence and Marseille.
A typical Provencal village, it is built around a rock and an ancient 12th century chateau and it offers a panoramic view of the countryside.

From the look-out point, you have a beautiful view of Mount Sainte Victoire, "la chaîne de l'Etoile" and the "Monts Auréliens".

In the village, you can leisurely walk around the peaceful streets and you will soon be seduced by the pleasant Provencal atmosphere.

The village is lucky to have an exceptional site that you must not miss: the Albertas gardens.
True works of art, these gardens are beautifully laid-out and magnificently maintained.

They have been inspired by the classic gardening tradition "à la française" in the style of "Le Nôtre", "d'Argenville" as well as the Italian style which has had a major influence on Provence, and particularly the region of Aix en Provence. Terraces, ponds, statues, lush vegetation and plants of all variety make this an enchanting spot...
The gardens are open to the public every afternoon during the summer, including week-ends and public holidays in May, September an October. (other periods: by appointment)
