	Les Baux : Introduction \| Frommers.com
		Cardinal Richelieu called Les Baux a "nesting place for eagles." In its lonely position high on a windswept plateau overlooking the southern Alpilles, Les Baux seems to be part of the mysterious, shadowy rock formations.
		In medieval times, the flourishing culture of Les Baux attracted troubadours from all over Europe to the "court of love." Later, Les Baux was ruled by the notorious "Scourge of Provence," Raymond de Turenne, who sent his men throughout the land to kidnap people.
		When Les Baux became a Protestant stronghold in the 17th century, Richelieu, fed up with its constant rebellion against Louis XIII, commanded his armies in 1632 to destroy the "eagle's nest." Today the castle and ramparts are a mere shell, though you can see remains of great Renaissance mansions.

	Olive oil from the Valley des Baux in Provence
		Living in Provence, feasting daily on a diet liberally doused in the local olive oil, has been, to say the least, one of the high-lights of the life I chose when I married a Provençal chef.
		Provence, and more precisely, the Valley des Baux de Provence, is a region now possessed with the coveted AOC (Appelation d'Origine Controlee) for its olive oil.
		This is an oil made of 5 different olives, (Pichouline, Salonenque, Blanquette, Verdale, Grossane--4 green and 1 fl), carefully blended to enhance the flavor of the fruit, with notes of artichoke, green apple, hay, almonds...

	Les Baux: Interesting Thing of the Day
		In 1821, geologist Pierre Berthier discovered a substance in Les Baux that was not a distinct mineral but rather a material composed of a variety of minerals, primarily aluminum hydrates.
		(The French word baux, by the way—the plural of bau—normally means “beams,” but apparently the local usage in that area originally referred to a type of natural rock formation.) For a long time, bauxite was indeed a major export, and France was the world’s largest producer of bauxite until 1939.
		But this sort of paradox is part of the charm of Les Baux, a place which, in more than one sense, is famous for the parts of it that have disappeared.
