Provence - Alpilles - Luberon

Les Baux de Provence

Rocks carved by time and the ruins of ancient citadel give this balcony of the Alpilles the magic that deserves it to be considered one of France's the most beautiful villages. You will be seized by the beauty of the landscapes and colors at any time of day.

Do not leave Baux de Provence without visiting the Cathédrale d'Images which was used as the setting of Jean Cocteau's “Testament of Orpheus. In the gigantic underground room, the immaculate limestone walls serve as a screen for projections creating an entire visual and musical universe for visitors to dive in. In 2006, on the occasion of the centennial of the death of Paul Cézanne, the cathedral will host a show dedicated to the works of the painter.
