The area
St
Remy de Provence is at the foot of the Alpilles between
the historic centres of Aix en Provence (the Oxford
of France), Avignon (with its Palais de Papes) and Arles
adjacent to the Camargues.
St
Remy, named after the Bishop of Reims, birthplace of
Nostradamus, has inspired many artists not least van
Gogh and Cézanne with its unique light and beautiful
surroundings.
The
ancient town is a maze of streets which wend their way
round the old buildings all of which is encircled by
a boulevard shaded by plane trees and bordered by cafes
and restaurants.
