Bouc-Bel-Air (French pronunciation: ​[buk bɛl‿ɛʁ]; Occitan: Boc) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France. It is situated between Marseille, Gardanne and Aix-en-Provence. The old village is located at the summit of a small hill (a bouc in the regional language provençal).

Population[]

Sights[]

Bouc-Bel-Air is typically in Provençal style, founded around a rock which formed the foundation of an old castle of the 7th century. It has a particularly nice view of several mountains, including the Sainte-Victoire.

History[]

Inhabited since very ancient times, its sites witness of Roman-Gallic settlings. Some of these sites date to the 7th century BC. Invasions of the Barbarians took place in the 7th century AD, the probable foundation date of the village. Birthplace (1797) of Adolphe Thiers, 2nd President of France (31 August 1871 – 24 May 1873)
