Les Baux-de-Provence Rental Vacation House
Les Baux-de-Provence area rental vacation houses are plentiful
July and August will be crowded at Les Beaux, perhaps the most visited village in the Alpilles Hills. The ruin
castle and the currently active village of 500, occupies a high rocky ledge and commands an excellent view
of the valley,and the dozens of hiking trails through the olive groves.
While Hiking at Les-Baux-de-Provence you will see signs of early
settlements that go back to 6th century BC Celts.  Even today, if you
climb to the ledge at the top of the high parking lot, you can see stone
works and cave dwellings carved into the high cliff.
While hiking in the village of Les-Baux, you
will be within several ruins and an active
village housing five hundred residents.  
Les Baux-de Provence's fortress, now the
major ruin, once housed a line of kings and
queens that  ruled the surrounding area from
the 2nd Century to the 12 th Century.
French kings then ruled until the city was
destroyed in 1632 by order of Cardinal
Richelieu in his attempt to punish the town for
revolting against French Catholic rule and his
desire to unify France under a central
government
Five hundred inhabitants of Les Baux
tend shops
The village was then made a Principality and given
to the Grimaldi Family, the rulers of Monaco

Les Baux-de-Provence Rental
Vacation Houses
could be booked in
July and August when most of Europe
takes a month-long vacation. In June
and September, however, Les Baux
can be receiving fewer visitors and
be a pleasant place to visit.
Les-Baux-de-Provence Hiking delivers some great views, even just hiking to the top of the cliffs and
standing on Les- Baux's ancient walls overlooking the olive groves and vineyards makes it worth the hike.
Perhaps the most visited village in the Alpilles Hills,  Les Baux-de-Provence commands an excellent view of
the valley, making it long a strategic position for settlement.
From the upper parking lot, a climb higher on the carved walls above the old caves opens a great vista and a
view all the way to the grasslands of Rhone Delta and the Camargue.
Hiking in Les-Baux-de-Provence doesn't stop when you reach the gate to the
town, the cobble streets wind to the top of the hill and to the church.
A Les-Baux-de-Provence Vacation
will put you in the middle of Medieval
pageantry as re-enactors stage catapult
war events and march through the cobble
streets.  The fortress, now a museum,
displays artifacts from the line of kings and
queens that  ruled the surrounding area
from the second century to the 12 th century
and from the French kings that ruled the city
until it was destroyed.
