"...I longed for the pine trees and olive groves [...] Everything here speaks of families and eternity." "I know of no place more admirable than Les Baux. The countryside separates us from all that we find offensive [...] It reveals all that we have which is great, all that is real; it turns this inner greatness into a vocation [...] In Les Baux, grandeur has charm and charm is filled with a sense of grandeur."
André Suarez, Letter to Antoine Bourdelle
One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France
Les Baux de Provence are one of the highly select group of "Most Beautiful Villages in France", a title it owes to the rarity and diversity of its heritage as well as the quality of its environment and town layout.
Although the international reputation of Les Baux is now well-established, ways of enhancing its heritage still form the main objective of the village.
