It is at the foot of the Alpilles chain, in the heart of one of the most beautiful regions of France that is the village of Paradou. Nestled halfway between Les Baux-de-Provence and Maussane, Le Paradou is an enchanting village hidden among vineyards and olive groves, conducive to relaxation and discovery in a magnificent natural setting, guaranteeing long relaxing days to the rhythm of cicadas singing.
Only 17 kilometres from Arles and 36 kilometres from Avignon, Le Paradou enjoys an ideal location for holidaymakers wishing to visit the most beautiful corners of Provence. Only 10 minutes from Le Paradou is the beautiful Fontvieille : engraved forever in the writings of Alphonse Daudet in the "Lettres de Mon Moulin", this town is a true haven of peace in the hollow of olive groves and rolling meadows. Its famous mill, Roman aqueducts, chapels, wash-house and castles make it an ideal destination for a cultural visit. Les Baux-de-Provence will also be an essential part of your stay : listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", Les Beaux-de-Provence is a Mecca of Provençal gastronomy. Perched on a rocky spur, this historic village lies in the heart of beautiful nature. You will love walking along its narrow cobbled streets and through the shady squares of its citadel. Its chapels and castles are worth a visit, as is the Saint-Vincent church, from where you can observe one of the most beautiful panoramas of the region.
Le Paradou is very small, yet it has everything of a big one. This charming medieval village, made of old stone houses in pastel tones, winding streets and flowered gardens is a real invitation to calm and strolling. Although it does not take its name from the "paradise", Le Paradou still strongly resembles it according to its inhabitants. An ideal destination for a gourmet break, this village will seduce you with its local flavours : olive oil, fragrant herbs, garlic, sun-drenched vegetables, bouillabaisse, daube, lamb from Provence, Muscat des Beaumes-de-Venise, local wines, honey, fresh goat cheese, strawberries and melons will delight the taste buds of all gourmets ! Take a tour around the Bistrot du Paradou, renowned in the department for welcoming many celebrities to its tables, such as Charles Aznavour and Caroline de Monaco.
In family, the visit of the museum "La Petite Provence du Paradou" is to make absolutely. You will discover one of the biggest museums dedicated to the santons, these small characters made of clay, typical of Provence. In all, in a miniature Provençal village with a superbly reconstructed decoration, more than 400 santons on a scale of 1/6 are staged. During your stay, you will certainly have the opportunity to visit the remains of the Towers of Castillon, of which only a few ramparts and three towers remain today. If we advise you this visit, it is especially for the breathtaking view on Provence that its ramparts offer.
Finally for walks, Le Paradou and its surroundings are definitely perfect for hiking in nature. The Alpilles Park in particular will captivate the hearts of those who love "green" walks, with its immense scrubland, pines, olive groves, vineyards, lavender and rich biodiversity. The park is also ideal for sports outings : climbing, horse riding and mountain biking enthusiasts will be able to discover the local fauna and flora via numerous sunny and signposted routes.
