The route

The driver takes the A7, then the A54 towards Arles and the Fontvieille road before climbing to Les Baux.

Arriving in Les Baux-de-Provence

Village and castle

Drop-off at the car parks below the village; the village and castle are visited on foot.

Carrières des Lumières

The immersive show is in the valley, a few minutes from the village: the driver takes you there.

Les Baux-de-Provence from the cruise terminal

For a shore excursion, give us your all-aboard time: the driver sets the departure time from the site with a margin for traffic and brings you back to the terminal in time.

In high season the car parks at Les Baux are full: by private driver you are dropped as close as possible without looking for a space, and the driver comes back at the agreed time.

The citadel and the Carrières

The castle of Les Baux, a ruined citadel on a rocky spur, displays reconstructed siege engines, and the view stretches to the Camargue. The village, listed among the most beautiful in France, lines Renaissance houses along pedestrian lanes. At the foot of the rock, the Carrières des Lumières project immersive shows about great painters onto the walls of a former quarry.

Allow almost three hours of driving there and back. Half a day on site covers the village, the castle and a show; for a short call, focus on the village and the Carrières and leave the castle for next time. Saint-Rémy is ten minutes away, and a stop at an olive mill or a wine estate in the Baux valley makes a gourmet call.
