Private Tour: Les Baux de Provence

You’ll be picked up from your Marseille hotel at your chosen time for your private half-day tour to Les Baux de Provence, a picturesque Provençal village on a rocky spur in the heart of the Alpilles mountains.

Delve into the remarkable royal history of Les Baux de Provence on a guided tour. Venture along its paved alleys past stone houses and tucked-away hotels, and stop to visit Church of St Vincent, dug into the rock, and Chapel of the White Penitents, a beautiful yet simplistic chapel located near the cliff's edge.

Perched at the top of the village’s hill sits Château des Baux, which you’ll visit next. This impressive castle offers exceptional views of the Vallée des Baux.

As you’ll learn, the valley surrounding Les Baux de Provence is perfect for olive growing and thus boasts some of the most abundant olive groves in Provence. Following your castle visit, head to an olive oil estate to appreciate this locally produced specialty. Learn about the stages involved in manufacturing olive oil and then taste some of the oils this region is famous for.

Throughout the day, your guide will make sure that you experience the rich beauty and culture of Les Baux de Provence, giving you an intimate glimpse at a gem of France’s Provence region. Your tour ends with drop-off at your Marseille hotel.
