Situated in the heart of the Alpilles, historic St Remy is one of the 'must sees' of Provence. An idyllic village built on one of the oldest archaeological sites in Europe, surrounded by lush, verdant and scented valleys, its ancient streets are lined with beautifully restored old houses. Strolling through the narrow streets brings you to delightful old fountains, shady squares, welcoming restaurants and elegant boutiques. The beauty of the countryside and the quality of the light has inspired many artists writers and painters. Without doubt the most famous was Vincent van Gogh who produced more than 150 painting all inspired by St Remy. You can walk to the very same places and discover the mountains, fields of wheat and wild flowers, olive trees, and cypresses - all just as it was more than a century ago. Your bastide is only ten minutes walk from the centre of St Remy. A short drive from St Remy takes you to an array of Roman towns, wild Camargue landscapes and Luberon villages.
