Chateau des Baux de Provence, Les Baux de Provence

A must visit for people interested in medieval castles. There’s a video (subtitled in English) playing inside the castle about the region’s (and castle’s) past, which is very informative. Entry to the castle is 8 EUR for adults at the time of writing. The town itself is also very worthwhile: calm and authentic with beautiful sightseeing-spots all over.

For more than 15 years I’ve frequented the area around Saint Remy, and Les Baux has always held a special place in my heart. I visited as a child with my parent, then some years later I came back to enjoy the sights from this hilltop masterpiece. I agree, many of the restaurants are expensive but please try to understand, they have a small window of opportunity to make enough money to see them through the winter when tourists aren’t visiting. It’s either 0 or 100 regarding people visiting places like this. It’s well worth a look to take in the breathtaking scenery. Especially at sunrise or sunset.
