Eygalières, perched in the Alpilles, is a must-see on your trip. Visit the old village or stroll around the Saint-Sixte chapel.

Eygalières, discretion and authenticity

Eygalières is a small village where you can spend the day walking around, admiring oratories, fountains and wash houses or having a meal in one of its charming restaurants or cafés. On Friday mornings, the village comes alive with its large Provençal market.

Surrounded by the superb landscape of the Alpilles, the village faces vast fields of olive trees, green valleys and vineyards. Worthy of the most beautiful postcards, the setting shelters beautiful private properties with tastefully restored Provençal farmhouses (“mas” in Provençal).

In the direction of Aureille, you should walk « Le Pas de Figuière » at an altitude of 247M. The fragrance of pine trees and wild aromatic herbs will accompany you as well as the chirping of cicadas in the background.

THE CHAPEL OF SAINT-SIXTE FRAMED BY CYPRESSES : AN ICONIC PICTURE OF PROVENCE.

Marcel Trapp

Eygalières, a village of character, has beautiful houses which are the very image of the Alpilles’ limestone rock, many of them displaying sculpted doors.

The village is a popular destination among cycling enthusiasts, with numerous routes along small, bucolic paths taking you through magnificent landscapes.

The « Fête de la Saint-Laurent » (« Saint-Lawrence Festival ») is among the most popular festivals in the region and guarantees an unforgettable atmosphere!

At the foot of the village, the eye is immediately drawn towards the top of a rocky peak which offers a magnificent panorama of the Alpilles and prones a statue of the virgin as well as a bell tower.
