Halle aux Grains

Reviewed By thomascB3809XL - New Orleans, United States

The Corn Exchange is a classical building from the 18th century that shows the importance of the corn trade at at that time. The southern entrance overlooking Place Richelme is decorated with figures of fruits, cereals, and olives representing the function of the building. Today this is the home of the local Post Office.

Chateau des Baux de Provence

With a view over Provence to the Mediterranean, the Château des Baux is one of the most beautiful sites in France. It is also a unique place marked by a turbulent past of more than ten centuries: from the Counts of Les Baux (who claimed to be descended from King Balthazar) to the Château’s destruction in 1483 by Richelieu after the wars of religion.This medieval stronghold contains both a castle and a village.

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

We do recommend to visit this castle for at least three reasons. First of all the place offers unique views on the countryside to the south, the Alpilles mountains to the north and of the village itself. Furthermore, the castle itself is an interesting example of medieval architecture with it’s walls, towers and the dungeon. Visiting all this and more requires good shoes and good shape to get up and down through narrow and sharp stairs. Finally the site organizes educative shows about craftsmanship and even war machines. You’ll need about one hour and a half to complete the visit.

St. Paul de Mausole

Psychiatric centre which treated Van Gogh after he cut off his ear.

Reviewed By JenniferTN2015 - Belleville, Canada

We happened upon this on our walk to Glanum from St Remy. They have done an excellent job of showcasing Van Gogh’s art along the walk and it was very interesting to see the place where Van Gogh spent a year of his life

Le Tour de l'Horloge

Reviewed By Razorfish - Little Rock, United States

Le Tour de l’Horloge is adjacent to Place de l’Hotel de Ville in Aix. It contains an astrological clock that dates to 1616. On one of the mornings my wife and visited Aix the square was set up with a flower market. It made for a beautiful setting under the tower.
