Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a Provençal town in the Alpilles, with old lanes, shaded squares and garrigue landscapes. You can explore the centre on foot, taking in stone façades, shops and terraces around the squares. Art and history enthusiasts will find museums, traces of Roman times and places linked to Vincent van Gogh. Away from the lively streets, the hills and country paths invite you to walk or explore the surrounding area by bike.

The old town is home to the collegiate church of Saint-Martin, the Musée des Alpilles and the Musée Estrine, dedicated to art and local history. The Porte Saint-Paul recalls the former line of the ramparts. The ancient site of Glanum and Les Antiques, with their Roman arch and mausoleum, can be visited south of the town. For a walk through the landscapes of the massif, the Maison du Parc des Alpilles is a useful landmark. Tarascon and Fontvieille are the nearest railway stations mentioned; a car makes it easier to visit the surrounding villages and natural sites.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks, when milder temperatures make it more comfortable to explore the trails and villages. In summer, visit the town centre early in the day and save the hottest hours for a break in the shade or by the swimming pool. A day can combine Roman heritage, a museum visit and a walk in the Alpilles. In late June and July, Provençal landscapes take on the colours of lavender in the region’s growing areas.
