The Alpilles, pale ridges and stone villages

A compact but strongly defined massif

Between the Rhône and the Durance, the Alpilles form a line of limestone ridges stretching for about thirty kilometers. The range is not high, but it gives the landscape a strong structure: white cliffs, dry valleys, pines, olive groves, cypresses, garrigue and villages gathered around their church towers.

To the south, the massif opens towards Arles, the Camargue and Salon-de-Provence. To the north, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Eygalières look more naturally towards Avignon, the Montagnette and the Rhône side of Provence. This compact geography makes it easy to vary visits without travelling far.

Protected landscapes and natural park

The Alpilles regional natural park protects a sensitive area shaped by dry summers, fire risk and remarkable biodiversity. Ridge roads, small valleys, paths through olive groves and views over the plains give a stay here a strong landscape dimension.

Villages and heritage

Les Baux-de-Provence, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Maussane-les-Alpilles, Mouriès, Fontvieille, Eygalières and Le Paradou form a group of nearby but distinct villages. Stone lanes, shaded squares, rural chapels, mills, markets and walking paths are all part of the experience.

Glanum, the castle of Les Baux, the Carrières de Lumières, Daudet’s mill and the small roads lined with dry-stone walls give the Alpilles a rare heritage density for such a compact massif.

Olive oil, wine and local life

Olive oil from the Vallée des Baux, Baux-de-Provence wines, markets and local tables naturally accompany the discovery. Staying in a guest house in the Alpilles lets you enjoy this rural Provence while keeping Avignon, Arles, the Camargue and the Luberon within easy reach.

Choosing the right guest house in the Alpilles

When is the best time to stay in the Alpilles?

Summer is a lively season, with markets, terraces, long evenings, local festivals and sunlit landscapes.

Spring and autumn offer a quieter pace for visits, walks, villages and country roads.

Where should you choose a bed and breakfast near the Alpilles?

The southern side of the Alpilles, around Maussane-les-Alpilles, Mouriès, Paradou, Fontvieille and Les Baux-de-Provence, opens towards Arles, the Camargue and Salon-de-Provence. It is a good base for combining villages, limestone landscapes, olive groves and trips to southern Provence.

The northern side, with Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Eygalières, Saint-Étienne-du-Grès, Maillane and Graveson, is more naturally oriented towards Avignon, the Rhône and inland Provence.

To the west, Tarascon, Beaucaire and the Montagnette give easy access to the Pont du Gard, the Provençal Gard and the Rhône valley. To the east, Eyguières, Aureille and Orgon bring the stay closer to the Luberon and the Durance.

What can you do during a stay in the Alpilles?

The essential sights in the Alpilles include Les Baux-de-Provence and its castle, Carrières de Lumières, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Glanum, Les Antiques, the landscapes of the regional natural park and the olive-tree roads between Maussane, Mouriès and Fontvieille.

Leave time for the atmosphere of the villages too: wander through Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, stop in Eygalières, visit Fontvieille and Daudet’s mill, sit at a café on a village square, browse a market or return by a small road lined with cypress trees and dry-stone walls.
