The Rhône Valley Tour 2022 by ombiasy WineTours: Wine, Culture and History, France began in Lyon and ended 10 days later in Avignon. The most southern point we reached on the tour was the UNESCO World Heritage Village Les Baux de Provence.
There, we were deep in the provence. We stayed one night at Hôtel Le Mas de l’Oulivier in Les Baux de Provence. We visited an oil mill and enjoyed a couple of hours in the afternoon at the pool and went back there for a lovely cocktail dinner.
Les Baux de Provence
The site of Les Baux-de-Provence lies 15 km from Arles and 25 km from Avignon. The small village and its ruined medieval castle are the stars of the Alpilles. Set atop a rocky spur, it displays panoramic views over the Crau plain, the Camargue and the city of Arles.
Moulin Castelas
Moulin Castelas produces award-winning
olive oils from olives produced organically in their 110 acres of AOP
groves on the sun-drenched footslopes of Les Alpilles in the Valley des
Baux de Provence and 160 acres on the Plaine de Crau since 1997. We learned how olive oil is produced and tasted the different award
winning olive oils that embody the exceptional character of the Provence
terroir.
Hôtel Le Mas de l’Oulivier in Les Baux de Provence
Hôtel Le Mas de L’Ouliviés in Les Baux is a 4 star traditional Provençal
country house style hotel sitting in the center of an olive grove at the
foot of the rocky, steep slopes of the village of Les Baux de Provence.
The beautifully landscaped pool invites for a relaxing swim.
Gorgeous Garden
We enjoyed the beautiful setting, relaxed in the gorgeous garden,
took a dip in the pool and got a feel for a provençal lifestyle.
