Art and Music at Carrières de Lumières and a Walk-Around Les Baux de Provence

Carrières de Lumières

Les Baux de Provence is a picturesque village about 75 km southwest of our home in Sablet. The village sits in a spectacular sight on a rocky outcrop with ancient houses and a ruined castle perched on top of the village overlooking the plains to the south.

Within walking distance of Les Baux de Provence, is Val d’Enfer (Valley of Hell): the site of old quarries.

Opened originally in 1977, the show is located in an abandoned limestone quarry.
