Les Baux de Provence is a small village in southern France.in the former province of Provence. It has a spectacular position in the Alpilles mountains, set atop a rocky outcrop crowned with a ruined castle overlooking the plains to the south. Its names refers to its site — in Provence, a baou is a rocky spur.
It was built primarily as a defence structure as it was high a top the mountain and could easily launch flaming projectiles as a means of defence.
