Complete crossing of the Alpilles chain, from east to west.
The “Chaîne des Alpilles” is a range of mountains in Provence, southern France, located about 20 km (12 mi) south of Avignon. The range is an extension of the much larger Luberon range. Although it is not high - some 498 m (1,634 ft) at its highest point - the Alpilles range stands out impressively, as it rises abruptly from the Rhône valley and from the very flat alluvial plain of Crau. The range is about 50 km long by about 8 to 10 km wide, running in an east-west direction between the Rhône and Durance rivers. The landscape of the Alpilles is one of arid limestone peaks separated by dry valleys.
