Paradou is a village in the Alpilles, in Bouches-du-Rhône, surrounded by Provençal scenery of olive groves, limestone hills and quiet country roads. Local life is shared with neighbouring Maussane-les-Alpilles, a lively village with squares and olive-growing traditions. This part of Provence suits travellers who enjoy walking between villages, garrigue landscapes and heritage visits, as well as stopping to sample local food.

Les Baux-de-Provence is known for its stone lanes and medieval castle perched on a rocky spur; the village is 2.2 km away. Nearby, the Château des Baux-de-Provence tells the story of the site and offers views across the Alpilles. Maussane-les-Alpilles is a place to stroll around a Provençal village and discover olive culture. For a longer excursion, Arles combines Roman remains, including its amphitheatre, with places associated with the city’s artistic history. Fontvieille railway station is 7 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between the villages and sites in the region.

Spring and the shoulder season are pleasant times to explore the trails and visit villages at a relaxed pace. In summer, the heat makes it best to plan outings for the morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the swimming pool during the hottest part of the day. Markets and olive-growing estates also offer the chance to sample local produce. You can spend a day exploring the lanes of Les Baux, strolling around Maussane and visiting Arles, before returning to the quiet scenery of the Alpilles.
