The village of Le Paradou lies just south of the magnificent Alpilles range of mountains in the valley of 'Baux de Provence'.
Olive groves and vineyards line the country roads leading to the village, surrounded by spectacular views of the mountains.
The village is a small quiet working agricultural village that is well protected by a mayor who succeeds in preventing the construction of ugly concrete housing. A village that offers the visitor a unique taste of Provençal life.
Le Paradou sits at the heart of the Olive Oil producing area and many of the surrounding villages offer mill tours and tasting of locally produced oil.
Just 15Km away you can visit St Remy-de-Provence, famous for its Roman architecture and Les Baux with its ruined castle and unique rock formations.
Further afield but within easy reach are Pont du Gard, Avignon with the Palace of the Popes, Marseille with its famous waterfront, the Amphitheatre at Nimes and the cultured avenues of Aix-en-Provence.
