In the heart of Les Baux-de-Provence, Prince Rainier III Square (Place Prince Rainier III de Monaco) evokes the historic ties between the village and the Monaco. This small, sunlit square is dedicated to Rainier III, in recognition of the longstanding connection between the two territories, both shaped by their rocky landscapes and fortified heritage.

A historical and symbolic relationship

The link between Les Baux and Monaco dates back to the adoption by the Grimaldi family of the title Marquis des Baux. This symbolic association reflects a shared history and identity, which continues to be celebrated through commemorative sites such as this square.

A quiet space within the village

Located within the medieval fabric of the village, the square offers views of traditional stone houses and narrow lanes, with the nearby Château des Baux-de-Provence rising above the landscape. Its modest scale and calm atmosphere make it a pleasant stopping point during a visit.

Close to key landmarks

The square lies just a short distance from several major points of interest, including the Château des Baux-de-Provence and the Church of Saint Vincent. Rather than serving as a major hub, it functions as a discreet and symbolic place within the village.

A place of memory and connection

More intimate than a large urban plaza, Prince Rainier III Square is above all a place of remembrance. It highlights the enduring ties between Monaco and Les Baux-de-Provence, while offering visitors a charming perspective on the village’s architectural heritage.
