Best Attractions in Provence  Here you will be spoilt for choice of holiday activities - with caves to explore, rivers for canoeing, delightful markets, romantic towns, exquisite mountains and viewpoints, incredible Roman history.....and still more attractions that are worthy of mention - especially our children's all time favourite holiday attraction in France,  the Haribo Museum!  And our favourite, Les Baux de Provence.

Les Baux-de-Provence    Dramatic!

Location: Les Baux is 8km south west of St Rémy-de-Provence.
General Info:  Website.
Description: A marvellous village set in Les Alpilles, in a spectacular clifftop setting with vertical ravines on both sides. This is one of Les Beaux Villages de France and is well worth a stroll through the town which is bursting with tourist shops, boutiques and art galleries – at the top you will find the ruins of the original fortified town and castle (entrance fee payable).  Just to the north of the town on the D27 there is a delightful viewpoint looking back over Les Baux.
Our recommendations: Whilst you are at les Baux why not visit a vineyard – see our wine section for recommendations on a vineyard just outside Les Baux.  Daudet’s windmill just outside Fontvieille is worth a detour.  Also recommended is the nearby Cathédrale d’Images for the Son et Lumière show.  And if you are in this area during the last weekend of August, try a visit to Fontvieille to see the bull fights in the local arena.  This is a colourful and fun event which can be enjoyed by the whole family.
For the children: Take good care of them as there are some sharp drops here.
