Eygalières is a beautiful, peaceful little village just 5 minutes from Saint Rémy de Provence, surrounded by the stunning Alpilles landscapes, huge fields of pretty olive trees, green valleys and vines.

The setting is simply astounding and one of the most picturesque in Provence. Eygalières is set on the top of a small hill in the heart of the Alpilles. Many of the beautiful old Provencal farmhouses in the village have been perfectly restored whilst keeping their original historical charm.

The old houses in the village are made of stone and there are many stunning hidden gardens behind big wrought iron gates. The villages main street slopes up to the original old village… take the Rue de l’Eglise and you will get to the Castle, the old Donjon’s esplanade and the Saint-Laurent church. You can also visit the local history museum, which is in the Chapel of the Penitents (XVIIth century).
