Les Alpilles Walking Holidays

Les Alpilles means little Alps, and the walking is easier than the rock suggests. White limestone crags shelter olive groves from the mistral above Saint-Remy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh painted around 150 canvases, and Baux-de-Provence sits on a ridge under its ruined castle. The Gallo-Roman site of Glanum, the Caume plateau, the olive mills at Maussane and the Eygalieres market fill the rest days.
