St-Rémy-de-Provence has a charming historic centre with winding streets, historic mansions, chapels, fountained squares, shops and plenty of cafés and restaurants enabling you to participate in the relaxed Provençal way of life.The artist Vincent Van Gogh painted his “Starry Night” here and many contemporary artists are still inspired by the town’s light and colour.

While you are here, visit the ancient Roman site of Glanum and the beautiful Monastery of St-Paul de Mausole where Van Gogh was a patient and created so many of his paintings.

Les Alpilles Natural Park is another great place for families with rock climbing, horse riding, hiking and mountain biking along its many trails. It has idyllic villages such as exquisite Les-Baux-de-Provence, an 11km drive from your holiday home. It is one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, a medieval village perched on a rocky plateau from which there are some wonderful views of Arles, the Camargue and Les Alpilles.

From Les-Baux, take the short drive southwards to Mausanne-les-Alpilles, a pleasant village surrounded by huge olive plantations and superb countryside. It is one of France’s most important places for producing olive oil, try some on a piece of fresh bread or a slice of goat’s cheese.

Don’t miss the 40-minute drive northwards to the lively city of Avignon which is fascinating to explore on foot. World famous Pont d’Avignon has pretty views of the city and the Pope’s Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

You may prefer to head towards Arles (27km) well known for its fine architecture and Roman remains. There are many good restaurants to choose from but it’s a special experience to dine beneath the plane trees in Place du Forum where Van Gogh once sat with his easel to paint “Café Terrace at Night”.

Arles is a stepping stone to the glorious Camargue which covers 900 square kilometres of land and offers opportunities for horse-riding, walking, quad biking and jeep tours. Here you will find those mythical wild white horses, black bulls, pink flamingos, lagoons, and red salt-pans reaching out towards the Mediterranean.
