With a view over Provence to the Mediterranean, the Château des Baux is one of the most beautiful sites in France. It is also a unique place marked by a turbulent past of more than ten centuries: from the Counts of Les Baux (who claimed to be descended from King Balthazar) to the Château’s destruction in 1483 by Richelieu after the wars of religion.This medieval stronghold contains both a castle and a village.
Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France
We do recommend to visit this castle for at least three reasons. First of all the place offers unique views on the countryside to the south, the Alpilles mountains to the north and of the village itself. Furthermore, the castle itself is an interesting example of medieval architecture with it’s walls, towers and the dungeon. Visiting all this and more requires good shoes and good shape to get up and down through narrow and sharp stairs. Finally the site organizes educative shows about craftsmanship and even war machines. You’ll need about one hour and a half to complete the visit.

We have visited many years ago but hadn't remembered how excellent this castle is. Well restored after centuries of use as a prison, very atmospheric and fairly easy to negotiate, although many spiral staircases to arrive at the top. Views from the roof are amazing, and reading the graffiti from the British prisoners of war in the 1750's is interesting. There are also incised pictures of boats from the 14th century, just amazing A good shop on the way in and excellent explanatory leaflets in various languages.

The castle, all towers, turrets and terraces, is majestic; as is its position, high on impregnable rock, overlooking a lush valley. Join the museum visitors and enter to discover guardrooms...
