• Astronomical Encounters in Les Baux-de-Provence

    22 April POSTPONED TO FRIDAY 24 APRIL, 4 July, 12 August, 10 October

    Esplanade du château

    The Delta Astronomers Association has now made Les Baux-de-Provence its home base, offering sky observations and activities throughout the year on the castle esplanade.

     

    As night falls over Les Baux-de-Provence, the sky reveals its full depth. Far from light pollution, this hilltop village provides an exceptional setting for stargazing.

    Constellations, planets and the Milky Way unfold above the mineral landscapes, inviting visitors to enjoy a unique scientific and poetic experience.

    A suspended moment for contemplation, where natural heritage and the night sky meet in the silence of the Alpilles.
