Les Alpilles – Provence’s Precious Getaway

One of these destinations is Les Alpilles, or Alpilles, a region in famed Provence, France. Provence is one of southeastern regions of the country, facing the Mediterranean. Les Alpilles is one of the towns of Bouches-du-Rhone, one of the departments or departments of Provence. Other departments include Var,

Vauckuse, Alpes-Maritimes, and Alpes-de-Haute. The Bouches-du-Rhone was created in 1790, along with other 82 departments, during the French Revolution. Bouches-du-Rhone was an important part of Provence’s history, and it is also one of the more popular destinations in France when nature and history is concerned. This department is closely related to the arts, thanks in part to its association with Vincent Van Gogh. Meanwhile, the Bouches-du-Rhone is also one of the top destinations because of its eye-catching Mediterranean landmarks and atmosphere, different from the usual hustle and bustle of Paris and other French cities.

Les Alpilles means “little Alpes.” The Alpilles itself is actually a mountain range, although Les Alpilles refers to the area and the surrounding towns and attractions near the mountain range. One of the more spectacular locations in this area is the Les Baux-de-Provence. Another is the Saint-Remy-de-Provence, famed for very rural look, the ruins of Glanum, and its association with Nostradamus and van Gogh. Arles, on the other hand, is famed for its attractions that show the remains of France’s Roman times. These sites include the Alyscamps, the Obelisque d’ Arles, and the Church of St. Trophime.

With its combination of Mediterranean charms, historical backdrops, and charming views, Les Alpilles may be a far cry from the cities’ more sophisticated look and feel—but it is definitely part of France’s overall beauty.
