Maussane-les-Alpilles is a Provençal village in Bouches-du-Rhône, in the Alpilles range. Stone houses, narrow streets and squares give the village a pleasant scale for exploring on foot. The surrounding countryside alternates between olive groves, pine forests and limestone hills. The village suits travellers who want to explore Provençal scenery while keeping shops and services within walking distance.

Les Baux-de-Provence, a medieval village built on a rocky spur, is 2.5 km away. Its château and the Musée des Santons introduce you to local history and Provençal traditions. The Domaine de Manville Golf Course is 1.2 km away. Further afield, the archaeological site of Glanum lets you explore the remains of an ancient city near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, while Arles is known for its Roman arena and ancient monuments. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages, historic sites and Alpilles trails; the house has no parking.

For a day in the area, you can start by exploring Maussane, then spend the afternoon among the narrow streets and at the château in Les Baux. The trails and country roads also invite you to walk and cycle, activities offered by the bed and breakfast. Spring and autumn bring pleasant temperatures for outdoor outings. In summer, the Provençal heat makes morning visits more comfortable; lavender colours some of the region’s landscapes towards the end of June and in July. Markets and neighbouring villages offer ways to vary your itinerary without leaving the Alpilles.
