The house is perfectly situated to explore Provence. Saint-Remy is a beautiful small town set near the Alpilles hills, and has long been a favourite with painters and artists -Van Gogh famously spent time in St-Remy painting many pictures of the surrounding countryside. The light here is truly inspiring. It has some excellent restaurants and bars and a famous weekly market. local stables rent horses to ride through the dynamic Alpilles -which is also great walking country. There is a golf course at Point Royal (20 minutes) and Isle-sur-la-Sourge's weekend Antiques market attracts buyers from all over the world. Saint Remy is also famous for its Roman monuments and is close to the stunning medieval perched village of Les Baux.To the south is Arles with its great Roman amphitheatre, often seen as a gateway to the fabulous and wild Camargue -where you can watch flocks of pink flamingo's and wild horses as you stroll along mile after mile of sandy beaches
