The villa has been designed in the style of a traditional Provencal farmhouse, a few minutes drive away from the old centre of Saint- Rémy de Provence. The village is in the heart of the beautiful Alpilles mountains, surrounded by the sights and scents of Provence and the pure light and colour, which has long attracted writers and artists of all kinds and as well as those who prefer a more relaxed peace of life. Saint- Rémy de Provence has its own air of quiet chic, elegant shops and a number of restaurants, little squares with ancient fountains, shady cafes terraces. Nostradamus
was born here and Van Gogh found all the inspiration he needed
here, painting more a hundred and fifty pictures in the countryside
around. Many of the places depicted in his paintings remain
much as they were then. Activities : Saint- Rémy de Provence has a golf course in “les Baux de Provence”, there are tennis courts and riding stables, you can go fishing or gliding and there are endless places to walk or cycle through the hills and discover for yourself, unspoilt, tucked away areas. Glanum, just outside Saint- Rémy de Provence is one of the most important Roman archeological sites in Provence. Founded 300BC, it reveals a civilisation that influences life here even today. You can see thermal baths, an avenue of houses, the temple and the natural spring, and the remains of a Gallo-Roman town dating 30-10BC. On the road leaving Glanum are the ancient Arc de Triomphe and Les Antiquities, the gateway to Glanum, standing as they have since that time. Close by is St Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh spent his last days.
