Awesome sights away from the city
Awesome day out of the city. What an amazing art image display in such a unique setting- inside an old quarry. The other two stops were just icing on the cake. Looks like they normally have small groups, but it was just the two of us on this trip. Highly recommend.

Lovely day, Clement our...
Lovely day, Clement our guide was very nice and extremely knowledgeable about history of the area and art. One hour van ride to the caves to see the light show. Spectacular, next we visited Le Beau the town built into a mountain and lastly we visited the insane asylum where Van Gogh created over 130 works of his most famous art. Overall a wonderful day. We were very happy with Clement our guide!!

Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aix-en-Provence.
How much does Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence cost?
+
Prices start at $137 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aix-en-Provence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aix-en-Provence is not rushed.
Is Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Aix-en-Provence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aix-en-Provence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aix-en-Provence and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Quarries of Light and Les Baux de Provence start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aix-en-Provence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aix-en-Provence?
+
On Outty we rank every Aix-en-Provence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luberon Villages Half-Day Tour from Aix-en-Provence, An Aix-traordinary Walking City Tour of Aix-en-Provence, Cotes de Provence Wine Tour from Aix-en-Provence. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Aix-en-Provence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aix-en-Provence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
