| The villages |
 |
In
the heart of a region with a rich historic past, Tarascon
is a logical starting point to discover famous places
such as : Les Baux de Provence, Saint-Rémy
and Glanum, the Pont du Gard and Uzès. Only
a few miles away, the majestic Rhône flows beside
the Papal city of Avignon to the North and Roman Arles
to the South. |

At
the foot of the Montagnette and the Alpilles nestle
Saint-Pierre de Mézoargues, Boulbon, Saint-Etienne
du Grès and Mas Blanc des Alpilles, small villages
of great charm…
Your path will take you past well-kept orchards, flower-filled
gardens, fields of sun-flowers, simple or elegant
monuments, a wind-mill or a chateau. Picturesque fêtes
take place there, such as the “Bottle Procession”
in Boulbon… |

| The
Montagnette and the Alpilles |
 |
|
Low
thyme-carpeted hills, hidden valleys with
olive groves, almond-trees and apricot
orchards, the Montagnette and the Alpilles
are a fragrant enchantment.
Their landscapes, sculpted by the wind,
open onto the rich irrigated plains of
the Rhône, where you can find orchards
growing apples, pears, figs and vineyards
too …
