About Les Baux-de-Provence
Les Baux-de-Provence is a ruined hilltop citadel where medieval fortifications emerge from limestone, commanding views across Provençal olive groves and lavender fields. The village sits at 245 meters elevation, with defensive walls and towers creating an almost lunar landscape. Summer brings crowds, but the desolation and power of the ruins transcend tourism—walking the ramparts feels like inhabiting medieval dreams.
