About Luynes
Where to stay in Luynes
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two roads decide it. Luynes gathers where the D7 and the N8 cross, 4 km south of Aix-en-Provence, and a stay here swaps the pull of the city for a village with its own church, dojo and boulodrome. The église Saint-Georges de Luynes marks the middle of it.
Aix-en-Provence absorbs anyone wanting more.
About Luynes
What are the main landmarks in Luynes?
Sport takes most of the entries. The stade Laurent Ruzzettu, the piste de bicross de Luynes, the piste de skate de Luynes and the plateau sportif Ughetti account for the sporting side of the record. The dojo de Luynes and the boulodrome de Luynes round the list out.
Only the église Saint-Georges de Luynes stands on it as something other than a ground. Just outside lies the Nécropole Nationale de Luynes.
What is the history of Luynes?
No charter year survives in the record. What the village is known for instead is a short list, the prison, the three international schools, and the Nécropole Nationale de Luynes on ground just outside the built-up part. The église Saint-Georges de Luynes is the village's own church.
Luynes answers to Aix-en-Provence.
Where is Luynes?
Luynes belongs to the Bouches-du-Rhône département of southern France, and the D7 and the N8 cross inside the village itself.
