Les Baux-de-Provence FRANCE 🇫🇷 A Guided Walk 🤩 Village and Castle [4k] 

📌 Location: Les Baux-de-Provence, South of France
🇬🇧 Bonjour! Welcome to our latest video, where we take you on a late afternoon tour of Les Baux-de-Provence, a perched village in the Bouches-du-Rhône département towered by a formidable medieval castle.
Nestled in the heart of the Alpilles, Les Baux-de-Provence is a picturesque emblem of medieval heritage and natural beauty.
This enchanting village, perched atop a rugged limestone outcrop, offers breathtaking views of the Alpilles mountain range and a journey through a rich tapestry of history.
Once home to a thriving community of over 6,000 people in the Middle Ages, today Les Baux-de-Provence captivates with its serene atmosphere, housing just a handful of permanent residents within its ancient bounds.
Its cobbled streets, lined with Renaissance mansions and shadowed by the majestic ruins of its castle, whisper tales of lords and legends, including the audacious lords of Les Baux who claimed descent from one of the Magi, Balthasar.
The Château des Baux, with its medieval siege engines and troglodyte dwellings carved into the rock, stands as a testament to the village's glorious past, inviting visitors to step back in time.
Awarded the title of "Most Beautiful Village of France," Les Baux-de-Provence is not just a destination but an experience, offering a stunning panorama that has inspired artists and bewitched visitors for centuries.
Join me as we explore the allure of Les Baux-de-Provence, a jewel in the crown of Provence's illustrious history.
