Eygalières

Eygalières

Eygalières is one of the the most beautiful villages in the Alpilles, situated on the northern edge of the mountain chain just 10km from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. When arriving in Eygalières your gaze will be immediately drawd upward toward the rocky outcrop to a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Eyglières is quite a small village but you could spend the entire day here strolling around, admiring its wayside shrines, fountains and washhouses or having a bite to eat in one of the restaurants or cafés. On Friday mornings, the village becomes very lively with its big Provençal market.
