🇬🇧 Bonjour! Welcome to our latest video, where we take you on a late afternoon tour of Les Baux-de-Provence, a perched village in the Bouches-du-Rhône département towered by a formidable medieval castle.
Nestled in the heart of the Alpilles, Les Baux-de-Provence is a picturesque emblem of medieval heritage and natural beauty.
This enchanting village, perched atop a rugged limestone outcrop, offers breathtaking views of the Alpilles mountain range and a journey through a rich tapestry of history.
Once home to a thriving community of over 6,000 people in the Middle Ages, today Les Baux-de-Provence captivates with its serene atmosphere, housing just a handful of permanent residents within its ancient bounds.
Its cobbled streets, lined with Renaissance mansions and shadowed by the majestic ruins of its castle, whisper tales of lords and legends, including the audacious lords of Les Baux who claimed descent from one of the Magi, Balthasar.
The Château des Baux, with its medieval siege engines and troglodyte dwellings carved into the rock, stands as a testament to the village's glorious past, inviting visitors to step back in time.
Awarded the title of "Most Beautiful Village of France," Les Baux-de-Provence is not just a destination but an experience, offering a stunning panorama that has inspired artists and bewitched visitors for centuries.
Join me as we explore the allure of Les Baux-de-Provence, a jewel in the crown of Provence's illustrious history.

Your videos and narration are really the most impressive we've seen in any of our views on UA-cam. We will be traveling to Les Baux de Provence as part of a long day of sight seeing and would never be able to cover all the ground you cover during our short stay. You provide a wonderful overview to preview or review our trip and teach so much. It's easy to see how hard you work to provide all this and we really appreciate it. I can't believe you could move that quickly on those stairs and climbs! You must be in great shape! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts with me! I'm thrilled to hear that my video on Les Baux de Provence has been useful to you and that you've enjoyed the narration and content. It's always my goal to provide a comprehensive and engaging overview of the places I visit, especially for those who may not have the time to explore every nook and cranny during their travels. I'm glad my efforts have contributed positively to your trip planning and experience.
I hope your visit to Les Baux de Provence is as enchanting and enriching as you anticipate. A bientôt!

We are going to be in Provence this summer. I am adding this village to our itinerary
It's indeed a beautiful village worth visiting. If you need more info about it, check out our blog 👉 frenchmoments.eu/les-baux-de-provence/
I have to wonder why the younger generation do not wish to move to and buy property in these old Medieval villages to renovate and inhabit these gems of villages. Yes it represents a simpler life but it seems like it would be very rewarding too. Thanks for another great tour of the village.
Thank you for watching! :)
