Eygalières is a Provençal village in the Alpilles, surrounded by landscapes of scrubland, olive trees and limestone hills. Its old lanes, small squares and religious buildings lend visits a relaxed pace, appealing to travellers who prefer small towns to large urban centres. Explore the village on foot, among stone houses and views over the countryside.

Saint-Laurent Church is 170 m away, while the Clock and the Musée Maurice Pezet are 280 m and 310 m away. The White Penitents Chapel, also 310 m away, adds to the discovery of the local heritage. At 1.4 km, Saint-Sixte Chapel is a Provençal landmark amid agricultural landscapes. The surrounding wine estates offer a chance to discover wines from the Alpilles; some can be visited, subject to their visitor arrangements. Orgon and Sénas have railway stations, and Marseille-Provence Airport is a regional gateway. A car makes it easier to explore the scattered villages and sites.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for walks and outdoor visits, with temperatures generally milder than in the height of summer. In summer, it is best to plan walks for early morning or late afternoon, when the light brings out the contours of the Alpilles. A day could combine a visit to the lanes of Eygalières, a stop at Saint-Sixte Chapel and a visit to nearby wine estates. In autumn, the landscapes change colour and the villages remain pleasant to explore. Hikers can spend more time on the trails of the Alpilles, checking access and current conditions before setting out.
