Description

From Wikipedia: "Les Baux-de-Provence is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of the province of Provence in southern France. It has a spectacular position in the Alpilles mountains, set atop a rocky outcrop that is crowned with a ruined castle overlooking the plains to the south. Its name refers to its site: in Provencal, a bauc is a rocky spur. The village gives its name to the aluminium ore bauxite, which was first discovered there by geologist Pierre Berthier in 1821."

This is a wonderful view and it is beautifully captured! Excellent! This has made me think I should try out France for a photo holiday! Not the image of southern France we usually see!
