Alpilles Landscape Directive — Visually sensitive area — in Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur

Alpilles Landscape Directive — Visually Sensible Area — in Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur: Between the valleys of the Rhône and Durance, between the plains of Comtat Venaissin and the Crau, the Alpilles draw the horizon as an island on the sea, where in permanent confrontation, the limestone and dry rock emerges from the irrigated plains. The beauty of the Alpilles refers to the “garden” landscapes of Provence; it arises from the apparent logic of “things”, in a space where the constraints of irrigation, wind, slope, soil and isolation are strong. In addition to the light inherent in the country of the mistral, in addition to the white rock of limestone Provence, the Alpilles have “something” that makes it their exceptional character. The purpose of this directive is to offer in this great landscape to each of the partners practical references to adjust their projects in order to shape their multiple actions more harmoniously and to guarantee, while accompanying developments, better protection of the landscapes of the Alpilles.
