Medieval villages of Les Baux de Provence, the immersive experience of Carrières de Lumière

OohProvence · Aix-en-Provence

Book online - full day private tour Explore medieval villages like Les Baux de Provence; immerse yourself in the captivating world of Carrières de Lumière (Carrières of Light); discover St Remy de Provence’s rich cultural heritage with tastings of local cuisine including olives and olive oil at our favorite producer; savor exquisite flavors paired with fine Domain de La Vallongue wines. Perched dramatically atop an ancient rock face lies Les Baux de Provence – a walled hillside town among the top attractions in all of Provence for good reason! Its charmingly tight winding stone paved roads lead upwards towards crumbling chateau remains while quaint homes cling onto every available inch of space here—a place once controlled by The House Of Baux since the ninth century until their integration within Province territory in 1426 which then joined France permanently in 1481. We will explore both this historic hamlet along with its grand Château. Adjacent to us are what were once quarries known as les Grands Fonds during the nineteenth century but now have been transformed due largely to visionaries such as Jean Cocteau back in the sixties. Today they host annual exhibitions showcasing artworks across some seven thousand square meters courtesy of company called Culturespaces creators of AMIEX®, or ‘Art Musical Immersion Expérience’. This spectacle brings together visuals accompanied by music recounting tales about these artists lives lived so intensely. Then we head off toward another gem hidden away amidst rolling countryside not far distant —Saint Rémy de Provence itself offering more than just history lessons though certainly those too can be had if desired...
