Wanting to be first in line at 9:30 am before the crowds at the Carrières de Lumières, we booked this nearby hotel with close access to our favorite nearby Bistrot du Paradou for dinner. The hotel is lovely, very quiet and participates in a "natural hotels' program with eco-sensitivity. The pool is very pretty - if freezing cold even in August. Our continental breakfast on the terrace was copious, with a large assortment of pastries, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, ham, cheese and home made jams and of course very good coffee. Our little dog was welcome. We got to experience Les Baux for the first time in dozens of visits over the years, as a charming village rather than a mob tourist scene by strolling through the village at 7 PM when many stores are closed, the crowds are gone and the parking is free. When in the area we never miss a visit to Mas St Berthe to by my most favorite rosé.
Arles is not far, nor is St Remy which is fun on Wednesdays when it holds it's big marché.
