Information about Saint-Remy-de-Provence
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a small commune with a population of just over 10,000, located just a few miles south of Avignon near the French Alpilles mountain range. Gentle winters and hot summers make pleasant weather for the many tourists who enjoy exploring the nearby ruins of an ancient Roman city, strolling through ancient buildings and walking under a famous landmark, the “Triumphal Arch.”
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is the birthplace of the self-proclaimed 16th century prophet, Nostradamus. The village is also known for the St. Paul de Mausolee, an incredible architectural masterpiece and the psychiatric center where master painter Vincent van Gogh was treated after cutting off his ear.
The glorious Jardin d’Alcinoos attracts many visitors who are enchanted by these magical gardens. Other visitors come for the incredible gourmet treats found in the market, Marche du Mecredi Matin, or to take cooking classes at L’Ecole Gourmand and visit the winery of Chateau Romanin.
