This stronghold of a feudal estate that controlled 79 surrounding towns and villages was built between the 11th and 13th centuries. The Princes de Baux controlled Provence for many years, earning themselves a strong reputation.
Today, the town of Les Baux is one of the most visited in the region, with over a million tourists a year… for a village of just 500 inhabitants.
The citadel of Les Baux, located at the far end of the village, is a must-see, 7 hectares in size, where you can discover the vestiges of the past: medieval castle, towers, keep, exhibition of siege machinery, chapel… a formidable history of Provence told in a vast setting of stone and rock.
