A typical Provençal village, grown up
around the ancient feudal castle built on a rock in the 7th century. Fine view from the Belvedere: to the east, the Regagnas, Olympe and Auréliens mountains, the Cengle Plateau and the Sainte Victoire range; to the south, the Garlaban, the Etoile range and Baou de Bretagne.
These sites have been inhabited since earliest times and testify to the Gallo- Roman civilisation, settlements dating from the 7th century BC, the Barbarian invasions of the 7th century AD, when the village was probably founded. Adolphe Thiers, Joseph Autran, André Roussin, Frantz Litz and Alexandre Dumas were born or lived in Bouc Bel Air.
