Les Baux-de-Provence, France part 1 the village

Description


http://tourvideos.com/ The town of Les Baux-des-Provence in the south of France is a remarkable sight, a unique stone village whose important history dates to the Middle Ages, with an ancestry stretching further back for millennia. On a rocky plateau surrounded by steep cliffs, Les Baux has survived through various important historical periods, sometimes playing a major role. As a medieval fortress it was easy to defend. Then in Renaissance days it continued as a thriving village. In later times it was falling apart and rather depopulated, but it was then rebuilt in the middle 20th century and renovated and restored. André Malraux, the France culture minister had a lot to do with preserving this town and now it's a great attraction for the visitor. We wander along the pedestrian lanes, do a little shopping and enjoy spectacular views.
