Why Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is worth the visit
“Let’s start with the essentials: Saint-Rémy brings together all the charm of Provence without the tourist bustle of Avignon or Aix. The historic centre is best explored on foot, with time to enjoy a coffee on Place Jean Jaurès between artisan boutiques and art galleries. On Wednesday mornings, the large Provençal market transforms the village into a festival of colours and flavours: sun-ripened tomatoes, goat’s cheese, and homemade tapenade.

Cultural highlights
The Saint-Paul de Mausole Monastery remains the emblematic site. This is where Van Gogh stayed and painted some of his masterpieces. You can visit his room, as well as the gardens that inspired him. A one-hour walk, marked by 19 reproductions of his works, lets you quite literally follow in his footsteps.
Right next door, Les Antiques — the Triumphal Arch and the Mausoleum of the Julii — mark the ancient entrance to Glanum, the Roman city. Access is free, which is handy for families. The archaeological site of Glanum itself is well worth a couple of hours to explore its remarkably well-preserved remains.
For a breath of fresh air
Lac de Peïroou offers the perfect spot for a peaceful picnic. Just a few minutes’ drive away, the Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence host extraordinary immersive shows, projecting works of art onto the walls of former quarries.
The Alpilles Regional Natural Park surrounds the village—ideal for hiking, cycling, or simply enjoying the landscapes that inspired Daudet and Giono.
Our tips & advice
Fallen in love with Saint-Rémy and ready to book your holiday rental? Perfect. But before you confirm, a few practical tips will help you plan a flawless stay. Best time to visit, ideal length of stay, getting around—we’ll tell you everything you need to make the most of your trip.
When to go?
Each season has its own charm in Saint-Rémy. Summer (June to August) is still the best time to fully enjoy Provence: evenings stretch out on café terraces until 10 p.m., swimming pools become essential, and the village atmosphere is at its liveliest. It’s also the season for festivals, night markets, and long, lingering aperitifs on the terrace.
Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) appeal to those who prefer a quieter stay, with mild weather and gentler prices too.
How long to stay?
To truly soak up the Provençal way of life, plan for two weeks. This gives you time to explore without rushing: one week to discover Saint-Rémy and the iconic villages of the Alpilles — Les Baux-de-Provence, Eygalières, Maussane-les-Alpilles — then a second week to venture further afield to Avignon, the Luberon, Arles, or the Camargue.
Two weeks is also just enough time to slip into the Provençal rhythm: morning market, siesta in the shade, afternoon swim, and sunset aperitif.
Getting around
A car is almost essential to fully enjoy the region and explore the surroundings. The centre of Saint-Rémy can be entirely explored on foot, but as soon as you want to discover the hilltop villages of the Alpilles, the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or head as far as the calanques of Cassis, your car becomes indispensable. It gives you complete freedom.
As for parking, while the Antiques car park is paid, you can easily find free parking just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre.
