Medieval Catapults and battles make Les Baux is one of the more exciting hilltop villages in Provence.
Les Baux lies in the hills thirty kilometres south of Avignon. Surrounded by vineyards and grape crops Les Baux was nearly forgotten after hundreds of years of neglect but the castle and village underwent renovations in the 19 hundreds to restore Les Baux to it's former glory.
Today Les Baux, and it's castle in particular, is a popular tourist attraction and in July and August it is very busy. If you can visit outside those months then it is well worth the trip as up in the castle there are medieval battle re-enactments, archery and falconry. Check the Calendar of Events to see what's on and when and come visit one of the best Castles in France.
