The Alpilles, a land of leisure and discovery
A limestone setting stretching its luminous mountains for 25 km from west to east between the castles of Tarascon and Orgon, the Alpilles massif culminates in Les Opies, at an altitude of 498 m.
The Alpilles range encompasses 15 villages, including some must-sees: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the north of the massif, Les Baux-de-Provence on a rocky spur in the south, and Fontvieille in the west.
In Saint-Rémy, the archaeological sites of Glanum and Les Antiques bear witness to the occupation of the massif and its foothills since ancient times. The small town, also famous for being the birthplace of Nostradamus, is rich in an important architectural and cultural heritage.
The citadel of Baux-de-Provence, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, is also rich in exceptional heritage with 22 listed monuments.
The territory of Les Baux is home to the Carrières de Lumières, these former bauxite extraction quarries which today host immersive digital exhibitions, that is to say art exhibitions in the form of monumental projections on the immense walls.
The village of Fontvieille is famous for being home to Alphonse Daudet’s mill and the Château de Montauban, the writer’s holiday destination. The other villages in the massif each contain varied treasures, such as the Saint-Sixte chapel in Eygalières, the Château du Roi René in Tarascon, the Mistral museum in Maillane, the santon museum in Paradou, the olive oils of Maussane-les-Alpilles or the ancient bastides of Saint-Etienne-du-Grès.
Between walks, visits to sites and museums, discovery of charming villages and their Provençal markets, meetings with local producers and local artisans, or even outdoor sports and leisure activities, the Alpilles massif offers a wide range of activities for the whole family.
The characterful villages of the massif barely disturb the extraordinary landscapes with their centuries-old silhouettes, where the white of the limestone contrasts with the deep blue of the sky and where the green of the vines rubs shoulders with the silver of the olive trees.
Home to many poets and writers, the Alpilles saw the birth of or inspired such famous figures as Nostradamus, Rainer Maria Rilke, Alphonse Daudet, Marie Gasquet, Frédéric Mistral and Joseph Roth. The painter Van Gogh also immortalized his time in Saint-Rémy through several paintings.
