Les Baux - chateau

Main attraction of Les Baux is the chateau which can be visited for 8,50 € per person. It mainly is a ruin. We had the "problem", that on the day of our visit the Mistral was very strong and it was very hard from time to time to stand on our feets. Also it was cold.

After entering the chateau you first visit the small cemetery of Les Baux.


The plateau is dominated by a model of a big catapult.

The chateau would have been much more enjoyful without the Mistral. Nevertheless itīs a great spot.
