The village of St. Rémy is pretty and picturesque, and the old Gallo-Roman interior is circled by the remnants of the circular 14th-century wall and the protective circle of buildings.
Located on the plains at the northern edge of the Alpilles, 20 km south of Avignon, this is where Van Gogh painted Starry Night, Nostradamus was born and Dr Albert Schweitzer was prisoner.
The most obvious remains of the 14th-century protective wall are the old portes, still in use today as the entrance ways into the ancient center of old Saint Remy. The old center is circled by a ring-road of boulevards, small enough that you can walk around the circumference in 20-30 minutes.
The ancient Porte du Trou (or Portail Trou de l'Orme) is on the Northen edge of the old town. Entering here, you would walk down Rue Nostradamus, and find the Nostradamus fountain.
At the opposite end of the old town, the Portail Saint-Paul gives entrance from the south, onto Rue de la Commune leading in to the main Place Pelissier where the town hall (mairie) is located.
The dolphin fountain from the beginning of the 19th century is located in the shaded square in front of the Mairie. That lovely building is from the 16th century and is on the site of an old convent.
Saint Remy is a busy, active village, with a good selection of restaurants and hotels for the traveller. Among the shops in the old village are a few with some regional pottery, including some beautiful sunflower plates no doubt influenced by Van Gogh [who lived here].
The road between St. Rémy and the autoroute (at Cavaillon, 17 km to the east) is a scenic drive out of the past: the road is lined by plane trees that are lovely and give beautiful shade during the summer, yet menacing for the imprudent driver.

REVIEWS:
Hi Connie,
I want to give you some feedback on the house in St. Remy from my ladies trip.
It was spectacular!! It was even better than the photos captured.
It was huge, with every bedroom being a full suite each with a private bathroom and lots of space. The living area was so comfortable and we spent several mornings and a couple evenings around the lovely dining room table.
We also loved the location as it was so close to town and very centrally located for day trips. St. Remy is charming and highly recommended as a base. We enjoyed some of the wonderful restaurants, bars and shopping as well.
We did have a few problems but not the fault of the owners or property. There was one thunderstorm and we lost power in the evening. Also, the gate stopped working. However, Bernadette was absolutely wonderful and she responded quickly to any problems. She was kind, helpful and very sweet. Also, the owners, M et Mme Gregoire were also lovely people. They called a couple of times and insisted that Bernadette give us a bottle of wine because of the small problems we had.
We had our own olive trees in the yard to look out at every day and even though it wasn't warm enough to go in the pool, we enjoyed relaxing by it. Very serene setting.
We were very happy and comfortable with our stay. I would highly recommend this home.
Also, people should know that there is only one stand up shower. All the others were tubs with shower wands. I understand as it is an older house and that is the way homes were built. I explained that to my guests and they adjusted to it fine.
Overall, a near perfect stay!!
Best regards, |
