Saint-Étienne-du-Grès is a traditional Provençal village at the foot of the Alpilles mountains, where vineyards and olive groves shape the landscape. The village preserves authentic character with stone houses, shaded squares, and family-run estates producing Baux-de-Provence wines and olive oil. Nearby, the dramatic Les Baux cliffs rise above the valley, offering hiking trails and historic sites. Local producers welcome visitors for tastings, sharing knowledge of wine-making and olive cultivation passed through generations. The peaceful rural setting, quality regional products, and access to both mountain trails and wine estates make it an ideal base for exploring the Alpilles.
