Location

Unique an estate covering 250 acres in the heart of the alpilles regional park.

Lying between the Rhône and Durance rivers, not far from La Camargue, where gnarly olive trees rise out of fertile red earth, where vines grow on steep strips of land, where rows of cypress trees hold back the wind as they outline the fields, where Bonelli's eagle flies high and proud' the Alpilles range crowns the Arles area like a rocky island amidst the plains.

Built nestled into the Alpilles hills like an eagle's nest atop a rocky spur, the majestic city of Les Baux de Provence has held proudly forth since the Middle Ages. From the ruins of the medieval castle, the views are stunning : Arles, La Camargue, the southern French plains as far as the eye can see, and in the distance, the Mediterranean...

  • 30 mins from the airport and the Avignon TGV
  • 45min from the Marseille airport
  • Helipad on the estate

Activities

Eco-responsible 18-Hole golf course
Throughout four years Domaine  slowly and surely took shape and the golf course itself came into being as well, ceaselessly reworked and refined. Literally embedded in the rocky setting of Les Baux, the golf course does not seek to be an English green or an oasis. It is part of the landscape, eco-responsible and respectful of the natural resources.
Plantings emphasize local species and the atmosphere is fragrant with pine, oak and olive trees. Provence and the Mediterranean influences accompany the changing seasons and color the fairways.

The Course
The golf course at Domaine  complies with the constraints inherent in a protected region and even goes beyond those constraints. As beautiful as an olive grove, as alive as a vineyard, the course creates a series of connected spaces that enhance biodiversity and are conducive to local flora and fauna.

New yet already timeless, the Domaine golf course is a French government-certified exemplary golf course.

Character-filled golf course designed by Thierry Sprecher and Anne-Laure Ricci - Ateliers Pep's. Course elements echo the former agricultural use of the land, geometric bunkers supported by stone walls, the shape of the greens, grassy rather than sandy bunkers, fairways bordered like former fields, olive groves and water obstacles?

The Domaine course appeals. The balanced, moving course evokes many different sensations. A good technical course with great diversity in the design of each hole.

5502 meters long, it suits every playing level.

Walks
Advice and recommendations for walkers
The forest and hillside are a source of life. They are a precious asset for everybody so let's take care of them! Sometimes, footpaths cross private properties. In this case, please show respect for the owner's generosity.

The Alpilles regional country park
The Alpilles regional country park is the latest of the regional parks. Within its area lie 16 towns including Les Baux-de-Provence between Camargue and Luberon, a town which puts its Provencal identity clearly in the spotlight.

The Tremaïe Path
This is quite a short walk that provides a different view of the "spur of rock" on which the village of Les Baux-de-Provence sits.The rock is shaped like the bow of a ship. It captures and retains the sunlight in the lacework of indentations and gaps chiselled out by erosion.
 
Alpilles: Les Baux - Saint Remy by crests
Leaving the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, take the D27 towards Maillane and past the "Carrières de Lumières". At the top of this road turn at the right towards "The Viewing Table".

The Rock
Bauxite is an aluminium mineral consisting of one or more aluminium hydrates. Discovered during the 19th century in several parts of the world it was from samples from Les Baux-de-Provence that in 1858 double aluminium chloride was successfully made from which the metal is easily extracted.

On your bikes
Cycling allows you the time to meet people, and you only have to put out your hand and you will come back with ingredients to flavour your cooking.

Fun for kids
Château des Baux
Educational workshops April, May and June, from Monday to Friday From April to June, the Castle offers for schools, workshops for nursery school, primary school and middle school pupils.

The activity book
A fun questionnaire has been devised to help children aged between 7 and 12 to find out about Château des Baux. A free booklet is provided at the entrance to the site and a mysterious riddle leads the children across the Château in search of hidden clues to discover the history of the monument.
