Eguilles (Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur)

Perched on a hilltop in Provence, the commune of Eguilles is as fascinating as it is attractive. A small, picturesque village with traditional houses, Eguilles offers breathtaking views of green hills, colorful vineyards and flowering olive groves, all tinged with the charm of Provence.

In this region bathed in Mediterranean sunshine, the town is rich in history. First settled by the Ligurians, the village developed under the Roman Empire, and its villas, terms and aqueducts bear witness to its distant past. A fortified village in the Middle Ages, Eguilles saw the construction of its inescapable Château de Saint Estève, one of the most precious testimonies to its feudal history.

Between growths and declines, this sunny town has retained its traditional charm and authentic character, which shine through in the lines of its architectural heritage. Eguilles' picturesque alleyways are lined with stone houses, and its parish church, with its Gothic architecture and iconic bell tower, is an emblematic feature of the village. From Cézanne to Zola, via Albert Camus, Jean Giono and Jean-Pierre Cassel, many celebrities have been seduced by its lavender fields, green hills and olive groves. Between nature and culture, Eguilles is full of mysteries to be discovered on visits, walks or hikes.

A town steeped in history, Eguilles also attracts visitors for its Mediterranean lifestyle. Local markets and festivals punctuate the days of the locals, while regional produce garnishes the gastronomic tables of the greatest chefs. On a day-to-day basis, renowned schools, sports facilities, health centers and local shops provide a comfortable living environment.

The proximity of Aix-en-Provence, its rich cultural life and prestigious entertainment offer the opportunity to benefit from the city's dynamism while living in a unique, unspoilt setting. Eguilles' accessibility is further enhanced by its proximity to the freeway, train stations and Aix-en-Provence airport, for direct connections to the rest of the world or France.

Set in a green setting, the town of Eguilles offers the opportunity to discover an authentic lifestyle, lulled by the sea air and the song of the cicadas, in the very heart of the Provencal countryside.
