Le Paradou Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Paradou is a commune with 2,110 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019) in the south of France in the Bouches-du-Rhône department (13) in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The name comes from a local name for water mills that weavers used to exploit the Arcoule river.

It lies on the Alpilles mountain range, below Les Baux-de-Provence, east of Arles and just a little west of Maussane-les-Alpilles. The municipal area belongs to the Alpilles Regional Natural Park.

Former Bauxite Quarries

Highlight • Other

Very pretty pond in the middle of an old bauxite quarry. Be careful ⚠️! The edges are absolutely not secure and a misstep would lead to a surely fatal fall given the height and verticality. Furthermore, it is forbidden to take the path by car, so you must continue on the road and leave it 5 minutes away in a parking lot. The round trip can be made in 40 minutes, excluding time on site.
