Les Baux-de-Provence or Li Baus de Prouvènço), commonly referred to simply as Les Baux, is a rural commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southern France.
It is located in the Alpilles mountains, northeast of Arles, atop a rocky outcrop that is crowned with a ruined castle overlooking the plains to the south. Its name refers to its site: in Provençal, bauç is a rocky spur. From the village name the word bauxite was coined for aluminium ore when first discovered there by geologist Pierre Berthier in 1821. Until 13 August 1958, the commune was officially named Les Baux.
Renamed after the historical province of Provence, it is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France Association and has over 1.5 million visitors per year although it has only about 20 residents in the upper part of the commune and 264 for the whole commune. Inhabitants of the commune are known as Baussencs and Baussenques in French. The commune is part of Alpilles Regional Natural Park.
