Set against the Alpilles, Paradou is a village full of charm. You will have to decide for yourselves whether it owes its name
to being a small corner of paradise, as many believe, or, maybe more prosaically, whether it stems from the ancient weavers' mills.
The museum exhibits, over an area of almost 500m²,a collection of nearly 400 santons.
What to see, what to visit: the parish church of Saint-Martin, Romanesque in origin and dating from the 15th
century, the tomb of the poet Charloun Rieu, with its engravings in the Provençal language, the ancient Romanesque
chapel of the Mas Saint-Jean, the Baux de Provence, Saint Rémy de Provence, Arles
and the Camargue…
