LES BAUX AND THEIR VALLEY - VOLUME 2

Clearly, the Vallée des Baux could never have been written about without the history of its people. Nobles, nobles who had lost their status, or ennobled bourgeois, many of them were true gentlemen of diverse geographical origins, who rooted themselves here—spending the summer at the heart of their estates, in their bastides or châteaux, and the winter in their townhouses. Today, through this work, the towns of Baux-de-Provence, Paradou, Maussane, Mouriès, and Fontvieille reclaim the history of their land, their people, and their estates, primarily during the modern era. This book offers an intimate look at the former bourgeois and noble families of the Baux and their valley.
