The heart of the Alpilles
from Les Baux to Eygalières. (day trip)
From Saint Rémy, head to Les Baux-de- Provence. The tour of the site requires at least half a day: Renaissance urban ensemble, château and citadel, museum, Cathedral of Images. On site: gourmet Provençal restaurants and wine. Bauxite, from which aluminium is made, was discovered in Les Baux in 1822. After this high altitude mineral tour purified by the mistral, go down to the Valley of Les Baux towards Maussane and either directly or via Mouriès, cross the Alpilles to Eygalières, a pretty village between the mountain and the plain. Just outside the village, visit the remarkable Chapel of Saint-Sixte and its cypress trees, and the alchemist’s garden at the Mas de la Brune (high standard hotellery). Return to Saint-Rémy.
