The fascinating remains of the medieval castle in Les Baux are located on one of the most imposing outcrops in the Alpilles: a chain of hills that constitute the last foothills of the Alps before plunging down towards the Rhone valley and its delta.
Over one million visitors each year from all over the world witness the patient restoration and protection of the remains of the old village.
The road that goes to the North, in the direction of Maillane and of Avignon, follows the Val d'Enfer and goes back down to the north of the Alpilles towards the fertile plain of Châteaurenard. However, from time to time, next to the eroded, strange shapes, flat, vertical surfaces, incongruous right angles, can be made out among the curves shaped by the wind.
