THE ALPILLES
The Alpilles are a small mountain range located a few kilometers south of Avignon. Its winding roads wind through hills covered with pines, olive trees and cypresses, and pass through perched villages such as Les Baux-de-Provence, Eygualières in which it is good to stop and eat a good Provencal dish. Look up while driving to admire the white limestone walls that emerge majestically from the landscape, creating a unique and spectacular panorama.
