Wednesday, Day 4 From Eygalieres to Les Baux to Mejanes. The Roman village of St. Remy de Provence is your gateway into the dramatic and superb landscape of the Alpilles. This is definitely one of the most beautiful villages of Provence. The ingredients are all present to make it the quintessential Provence experience. Stone houses, wandering streets, local arts and crafts, outdoor cafes, and numerous fountains amongst Roman ruins.
Picnic lunch is set one mile from the village near a lake.
Riding through fields of olive trees, riders then come upon the settlement of Les Baux de Provence. Perched on a cliff, this stronghold is a spectacular sight and the reminder of a great folklore. Founded by a proud aristocracy, it is mostly famous for the prominent place it occupies in the mythology of the troubadours and courtly love. Great view of the Mediterranean Sea and Delta of Camargue may be seen. The horses are left near Les Baux and you are taken into the village with ample time to visit.
