Les Baux & Carrières de Lumières

A Breathtaking Mulitmedia Show and a Charming Hilltop Village See a remarkable multimedia installation in a former quarry, then ascend to the rock-hewn hamlet of Les Baux. Drive to the spectacular Carrières de Lumières, an installation space carved into an old quarry. The white limestone from this cave was used to build parts of Les Baux and other surrounding villages. Today, it is an impressive venue utilized for an immersive audiovisual experience that brings its subjects to life through vibrant projections. Continue to Les Baux to explore its hilly, dramatic cobblestone lanes. Here, you will take a guided walk through the picturesque village, a fortified site painstakingly restored, nestled in limestone and crowned by castle ruins. Throughout this rewarding excursion you will traverse the bucolic Provençal countryside, viewing its olive groves and rice fields. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
