One of the most beautiful villages in France
The village of Les Baux-de-Provence, perched on a
spur of rock, has an incredibly diverse architectural
heritage including an extraordinarily beautiful citadel that towers over the surrounding countryside.
The exceptional decor brings memories of the past
back to life, upholds traditions, is home to the art
of the people who lived here and plays host to
prestigious events.
It is not just a place steeped in history, though. It
has much more to offer. The tradition of providing
visitors with a warm welcome is as present as ever
in its gourmet restaurants and delightful hotels
that play host to celebrity guests.
The Baux-de-Provence appellation
is a symbol of quality.
Its vines, grown on sun-drenched rocky soil, produce
generous wines. Its olive oil is warm and fruity.
Set in the heart of the Alpilles regional country
park, Les Baux-de-Provence is a listed heritage
site that has won titles such as “one of the Most
Beautiful Villages in France” or “an Outstanding
Centre for Flavoursome Food”. In fact, the village
is unique because it is just that bit more famous
than others, and just a bit more magical. And
the essence that gives Provencal villages their
very special atmosphere and fragrance is here
too – small squares, well-shaded terraces, narrow
streets and small shops.

The Castle
Standing on a spur of rock in the heart of the
Alpilles, the Castle of Les Baux-de-Provence
covers an area of 7 hectares and is one of the most majestic natural and historic sites. A listed Historic Monument, the Castle offers a breathtaking panorama over
the valley of the Alpilles and the whole region. The audioguide is available in 10 languages (F, GB, D, I, NL, E, J, R, C,
P), so you can learn about the turbulent past of the Lords
of Les Baux-de-Provence and discover their mediaeval
fortress as you explore the keep, the Sarrazine and Paravelle towers, the dovecote, the castle chapel and the
chapel of St Blaise, and the former Quiqueran hospital.
Mediaeval Jousting (noon, 2.30 pm and 4.30
pm): A humorous historic display demonstrating the weapons and techniques of mediaeval warfare. Watch the spectacular confrontation between the knight and the lord of Les
Baux-de-Provence.
Chapel of Saint Blaise (12th century)
An illustrated tour
In the Chapel of St. Blaise, an example
of Romanesque architecture, visitors
can watch a film at any time of year
entitled “A Bird’s Eye View of Provence”
giving them a chance to see the most
outstanding locations in Provence, a
region that is unique for the wealth and
diversity of its heritage.
Events and entertainment in 2013
(every weekend, public holidays and
school holidays from April to September)
Siege machinery (11.00 am, 1.30 pm,
3.30 pm and 5.30 pm and 6.30pm in July
and August): there is a demonstration
of their huge firepower every day at the
castle. The counterpoise and single-counterweight trebuchets, catapult, balista
and battering ram are meticulous reproductions of the machinery used in the
Middle Ages and they give visitors some
idea of their effectiveness.
Crossbow and archery demonstrations
(10.00 am to 6.00 pm) Learn how to handle the famous weapons used in the Middle Ages for both hunting and warfare.
Compete with a genuine archer to test your skill and strength!
6
Visitors to the castle can follow the route
marked out by illustrations from the publisher,
Castermann. Large panels have been set up to
show what the buildings would have looked
like and help children to use their imagination
in comparing these pictures with the way the
castle looks today.
The treasure hunt
Children aged 7 to 12 can delve into the Book of
Riddles. A fun but educational way of learning
about the history of Les Baux-de-Provence.

“Making a santon
is like playing at being
God the Father
and, like Him,
producing a man
from clay.”
The museum of “santons” (figures for the Christmas crib) contains a vast number of exhibits including some outstanding figurines made in Naples,
scenes illustrating the traditions of Provence and
Les Baux linked to the Nativity and a documentary
film on the manufacture of these figures.
The museum houses several different collections
- Neapolitan figurines from the 17th and 18th centuries, 19th-century “santons” for churches whose
painted papier mâché faces and glass sulphur eyes
were made by the Carmelite convent in Avignon
and figures by famous makers such as Carbonnel,
Fouque, Jouve, Peyron Campagna, Toussaint, Thérèse Neveu, Louise Berger, Simone Jouglas etc. The
traditional ceremony of the Shepherds’ Offering,
known locally as the “Pastrage”, is staged against
the background of Les Baux de Provence, in front
of the village church. A traditional Provençal Christmas crib and the everyday life of a 19th-century family are shown in two large windows. For children,
a crowd of small brightly-coloured, naively-painted
santons is placed at a height that they can reach.
“Making a santon is like playing at being God the
Father and, like Him, producing a man from clay.”
This beautifully-phrased sentence by historian
Marcel Provençal summarises the work of the santon-maker very well and expresses all the magic of
creativity. Open daily throughout the year. No
admission charge.
Tour designed and “E-Walk”,
to explore Les Baux-de-Provence
Making access to heritage
a pleasure for all.
The “E-Walk” is an entertaining, instructive and interactive way of exploring Les Baux-de-Provence.
In addition to the tour designed for vision-impaired visitors, which has been Tourisme & Handicap accredited
since 2010, the town of Les Baux-de-Provence will have
a new mobile Apple and Android app in spring 2013, designed for all. The free app, provided by the Tourist Office,
the Braille & Culture Association and the other sponsors,
takes you on a sightseeing tour of the town’s heritage
sites, in French and English. It is accessible to everybody.
For the blind, the descriptive audio commentary is rounded off with sightseeing booklets in braille with drawings
in relief, or with large-print booklets containing drawings
in contrasting colours. As to the vision-impaired, they can
use the “text” app with its large print function. Finally, for
the deaf, the audio description has been translated into
sign language and is available on video.
If you can’t download this application, the Tourist Office
can lend you touch pads containing the app.

Olive growers
trade association
The three “Vallée des Baux-de-Provence” A.O.C.s (appellations d’origine controllée) (guaranteed origin) labels for black crushed olives, pricked olives and olive
oil were awarded on August 31, 1997, demonstrating
the pure typicality of the fruits from the olive-trees
from our Alpine foothills. Salonenques and beruguettes, crushed green olives flavoured with fennel
uniquely express the “savours of the garrigue”. Ripe
black pricked grossane olives are unlike any others
and truly marry the ardour and aroma of Provence.
The final expression of the olive tree, competing with
the colour of the Provence sun, is olive oil - the quintessence of know-how, our land and the tastes and
scents of Southern France. Typically, Vallée des Bauxde-Provence A.O.C. olive oils are characterised by a
“Green Fruit” version, with flavours of raw artichoke,
cut hay, wet grass, thyme leaves, fresh banana, citrus fruits, tomato, bitter almond, green apples and
“Black Fruit” with flavours of mushrooms, truffles,
cooked artichoke, crystallized tomato, red fruit, black
olives, sweet pepper, almond, date, hazel nut, cocoa,
toast, butter, pastry, tapenade…

Vignerons des Baux-de-Provence
Les Alpilles
simply follow the vines
To reach the heart of the Alpilles and truly capture
the many aspects of the Baux Valley, simply follow
the vines and take the time to discover each of the
twelve estates that have been associated since 6
February 1995 under the A.O.C. Without really discovering the vine trail, it is clearly difficult to truly
understand and appreciate the countryside’s distinctive features and the reality of the Appellation.
The Alpilles have so much to offer and definitely
need more than a quick glance. The vineyards are
more often than not lost in the countryside, hidden
in the hillside, nestling in a cul-de-sac at the end
of a narrow dirt track, a few kilometres long, which
can be taken by car, bicycle or on foot. It is certainly
worth the detour, especially as on arrival, after a
delightful trip, you will have the pleasure of discovering a winegrower, a glass, some wine... A special
memory that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Atelier d’artiste Marie-Hélène SOLA
GPS

E 4°49'07.7"
In her studio-gallery in Les Baux-de-Provence,
artist Marie-Hélène Sola presents “Fragmentism”, a pictorial art movement that she founded in the early 1990s. It is a descendent of
Cubism, a synthesis of two worlds (abstract
and figurative art), a dialogue emerging from a
use of form and colour. In fact, “Fragmentism”
gathers up movement in space that goes
beyond the dimensions of the canvas. Sola
decided to displace the visitor’s centre of interest to provide an understanding of an entire
composition and its particular features. Her own vision
of the world is an excuse to fragment the composition,
without any restrictions.
She is very well-known in the modern art world and
her works are intended as an open window, transcending the purely temporal world.
Open from April
to December

The Mas des Figues (a guest house rated 4 épis by
Gîtes de France) lies in the Alpilles Regional Country
Park, 3.5 kms from Saint-Rémy and 6.5 kms from
Les Baux de Provence. The setting is unique – very
peaceful, with a wonderful garden full of colour and
fragrance. The spacious guest rooms are decorated
in a warm, convivial style ideal for curling up with
a good book or having a rest. The produce from
the vegetable garden provides culinary delights from breakfast brunch
onwards. The patio, which is more reminiscent of a lounge, is located beside the heated swimming pool that languorously stretches out between
olive trees, lavender bushes and roses. The Mas des Figues gives form to
a whole new lifestyle in an untamed environment, with a botanic garden, vegetable garden, farm animals and olive trees in a private estate
covering 10 hectares.

Where taking care of yourself is a voluptuous pleasure… Five hundred square meters bathed in light and tranquillity. A haven of privacy that opens onto a tree-shaded patio and a fragrant garden, mingling light and shadow; airy, light drapes contrasting with the dark
wood of the walls and floor. Driftwood lamps discreetly light the
corridor leading to the six treatment rooms. Some are intended for
body and facial treatments and beauty care; others are reserved for
massages and body wraps. Each space, each treatment, each massage offers a completely personalized experience. A different kind of
voyage begins here, in the heart of Provence, one that is a first step
on the road to self-discovery. Massages, facial and body treatments,
beauty care, Hammam, sensory pool, fitness studio.
