A mediaeval fortress
It was in the 13th century that the rocky spur of Les Baux was capped with this imposing fortress. Its naturally entrenched and high-perched situation made it possible to observe and protect the surroundings.
The architects of the day tamed the site by carving into the rock to reinforce its defensive nature.
The Château des Baux-de-Provence extends over 5 hectares, and the whole site is a listed Historical Monument.
Situated in the foothills of the Alpilles massif, it offers a breathtaking panorama of Provence, from Aix to Arles, and beyond. On a clear day you can see the Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Camargue.
