Mouriès is a Provençal village in the Alpilles, surrounded by olive groves and landscapes of Mediterranean scrubland. Local life is connected to olive growing, which you can see in the village’s mills and shops. The surrounding roads cross limestone hills, pine forests and fields; the region suits travellers who want to alternate walks, visits to villages and heritage sites. Maussane-les-Alpilles, another village in the valley, shares this Provençal atmosphere and olive-growing traditions.

In Mouriès, the Moulin à Huile Coopérative offers an insight into local olive-growing expertise, while the Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur is one of the village’s landmarks. Golf de Servanes is 2.3 km away and has a course set in the Alpilles landscape. Maussane-les-Alpilles is 4.8 km away. Further afield, Les Baux-de-Provence draws visitors with its medieval village and the Carrières des Lumières; Saint-Rémy-de-Provence has old lanes and sites linked to Roman history. A car makes it easier to travel between these villages and the hiking trails.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for walking in the Alpilles, when temperatures are suitable for outdoor activities. In summer, the heat makes it best to start walks early and save the hottest hours for indoor visits or the pool. A day could combine a walk through the olive groves, a visit to the mills and a stop in a nearby village. Those who enjoy scenery can also follow the small roads through the massif and choose a trail to suit their pace.
