Maussane
Maussane, the jewel in the crown, is nestled amongst the southern slopes of the Alpilles Mountains, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, in les Vallée des Baux, and is a short distance from neighbouring villages Les Baux de Provence, St Remy de Provence, Eygaliéres, Arles and Mouries. As one of the most important olive oil producing areas in all of France, olive groves and mills, vineyards and undulating countryside set the backdrop to this charming French village.
Walk down the worn streets of history, taking in the 18th century church Église Sainte-Croix, historic epicentre Vieux-Maussane, stone houses, picturesque squares, and gastronomic restaurants, all which encapsulate the essence of Maussane.
On Thursday mornings, meander through the Provençal market held at Square Henri Giraud, and sample the delicious olive delicacies, the myriads of delectable French and local cheeses, the seasonal handpicked local fruits and vegetables, whilst relishing in the perfume of the local flora under the leaves of the plane trees.
