Small partial panorama looking up at the ruins of the Medieval fortress in the "dead city" of Les Baux. Les Baux-de-Provence is a short drive from where we stayed for five days in St. Remy-de-Provence. The "live city" is below the ruins and is a cute "tourist-trap." The large, heavily patrolled parking area is full of cars and busses most every day from Spring to Fall. |
Some historical notes: Les Baux has been occupied as a defensive site throughout history.
