Ranked among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, it retains a maze of cobblestone streets lined with Renaissance mansions, such as the H\u00f4tel de Manville, which now serves as the town hall.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We enjoyed climbing up to the Ch\u00e2teau plateau, which covers 5 hectares and offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Alpilles and the Camargue. The site also features the remains of the fortress dismantled by Richelieu in 1632: the keep, Saracen towers, cave dwellings, and reconstructed siege engines such as the trebuchet.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Baux-de-Provence\/n-M5J7zf\/Que-faire-village\/i-R2ThV8h\/0\/McVcCCFh2rBxSwb59PsSTRCFdTpSwr8GgnWwFV5VH\/L\/que-faire-village-beaux-de-provence-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"A narrow street in the village of Les Baux-de-Provence\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you make your way back down toward the village, take a moment to admire the Church of Saint-Vincent, which is partially carved into the rock, as well as the Chapel of the White Penitents and its frescoes by Yves Brayer.

You can visit several mills around the mountain range, such as the Moulin Castelas near Les Baux, where you can taste and compare oils with varying degrees of fruitiness. Maussane-les-Alpilles, known as the &#8220;olive capital,&#8221; is home to several traditional olive mills that are open to visitors. The harvest takes place from November through January, which is the best time to visit a working mill<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Saint-Remy-de-Provence\/Mus&#xE9;es\/n-sJNZTh\/Mus&#xE9;e-des-Alpilles\/i-tbVNx2B\/0\/Nb5m9b4mxrvPf8BkPCCwx6wFtthSjxpK9SVWxGZdq\/L\/musee_alpilles_graines-L.jpg\" alt=\"Seeds at the Alpilles Museum\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Alpilles Museum in Saint-R\u00e9my, you can also learn more about the local terroir, the region\u2019s seeds, and farming techniques.<br\/>The markets let you discover lots of local specialties.<br\/>Or you can simply enjoy the great restaurants in the area<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

We also recommend the Sunday morning market, which is quieter than the one in Saint-R\u00e9my, as a chance to experience the Proven\u00e7al way of life away from the tourist hustle and bustle.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

The complex once powered sixteen waterwheels arranged in two rows along a slope, considered one of the greatest concentrations of mechanical power in antiquity. We found the site surprisingly peaceful, partly overgrown with vegetation, far from the crowds flocking to Glanum or Les Baux.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free access all year round<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdoor site with no on-site facilities: Be sure to bring water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Located about 10 minutes from Fontvieille and 20 minutes from Arles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.

Founded in the 10th century by Benedictine monks, it still features a Romanesque abbey church, a cloister, and a crypt carved directly into the rock.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We climbed up to the Abb\u00e9 Tower, which was added in the 14th century, to enjoy an unobstructed view of the Alpilles and the Camargue. We also spotted, a few hundred meters away, the small Sainte-Croix Chapel, standing alone in the middle of an ancient rock cemetery. The abbey is also known for having inspired several of Van Gogh&#8217;s paintings; he enjoyed taking walks there from Arles.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

The nearest TGV stations are Avignon and Arles.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the summer, buses from the ZOU! network serve certain villages, such as Les Baux-de-Provence, but service is limited during the off-season. We recommend checking the schedules before you leave if you plan to use public transportation.<br\/>Tours are also organized from the major cities of Provence (Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Nice, Marseille): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/les-baux-de-provence-l691\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">see the options<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our part, we&#8217;ve always preferred traveling by car, which lets us visit several villages in a single day.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Baux-de-Provence\/n-M5J7zf\/Village\/i-jmSDnZ6\/0\/M7VSLjRcJXZPb2VWNBnDjzBTWJGnhnsXBDX5VJGM9\/L\/route_acces_Baux-L.jpg\" alt=\"the road between Saint-Remy and Les Baux\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parking<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parking varies greatly from one village to another. In Les Baux-de-Provence, parking is paid and mandatory within the village. In Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence, there are several free parking lots surrounding the historic center, including those on Boulevard Marceau, Place de la R\u00e9publique, and Avenue Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Mistral. The pedestrian-friendly center of Saint-R\u00e9my makes for a pleasant stroll once you&#8217;ve parked your car. We recommend arriving before 9 a.m. in the summer and on market days to find a parking spot easily.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Saint-Remy-de-Provence\/n-kcDSfm\/Ville\/i-n4sQ4mx\/0\/KsVzK2brfr4wppwBKfqXWvqgrcRvBPJ2ttjvhnvzX\/L\/que-faire-village-saint-remy-provence-12-L.jpg\" alt=\"Parking in Saint-R&#xE9;my\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful Tips for Visiting the Alpilles<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time to allow and the best season to visit<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One day is enough to see the must-see sights in a single village, but we recommend setting aside three to four days to explore the entire mountain range at a leisurely pace. Spring and the off-season\u2014between April and June, and then in September and October\u2014offer pleasant temperatures and fewer visitors than in the summer.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the Alpilles with the Family<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children especially enjoy the Ch\u00e2teau des Baux, where the reconstructed siege engines and medieval activities in the spring and summer easily capture their attention. The Glanum site, with its ruins at child height, also sparks the imagination. We also tried out the Van Gogh Trail, which is accessible to young children thanks to its flat terrain and illustrated signs. Finally, we recommend the Carri\u00e8res de Lumi\u00e8res, whose immersive show captivates visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to do when it rains<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it rains, the Carri\u00e8res de Lumi\u00e8res is still a safe bet, since the show takes place entirely indoors. The museums in Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence and Les Baux\u2014such as the Mus\u00e9e des Alpilles, the H\u00f4tel de Sade, and the Mus\u00e9e des Santons\u2014also offer a pleasant place to visit. However, we avoid visiting the Ch\u00e2teau des Baux in bad weather, since the site is outdoors and windy. We also recommend caution on the cobblestones in the narrow streets, which can be slippery when it rains.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which is the most beautiful village in the Alpilles?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice depends on your priorities. Les Baux-de-Provence offers the most spectacular setting, with its hilltop castle; Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence charms visitors with its ancient heritage and more urban atmosphere; while Eygali\u00e8res attracts those seeking tranquility and fine dining.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit the Alpilles without a car?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s difficult to explore the entire mountain range. From the TGV stations in Avignon and Arles, you can reach certain villages by bus, but service is limited, especially outside the summer season.<\/p>\n\n<div
