Authentic 18th Century Hamlet In Saint Rémy De Provence

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence occupies a singular position in Provence: a small town of genuine cultural and historical depth, set at the northern foot of the Alpilles. The old centre, contained within its ring of boulevards, is dense with 15th and 16th century architecture, plane-tree-lined squares, and the kind of weekly market that has operated continuously for centuries. The nearby archaeological site of Glanum and the Roman monuments of Les Antiques place this town in a landscape shaped by two thousand years of continuous habitation.

Daily life centres on Place de la République and the Wednesday market. Café de la Place and L’Aile ou la Cuisse are reliable local institutions. The Alpilles natural regional park begins at the edge of town, with marked trails accessible on foot or by bicycle. Avignon is 25 kilometres north.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence sits on the D99, with direct road access to Avignon in under 30 minutes and Aix-en-Provence in approximately 45 minutes by car. The nearest TGV station is Avignon TGV, which connects to Paris Gare de Lyon in roughly 2 hours 40 minutes. Marseille Provence Airport is approximately 60 kilometres south, reachable in under an hour, with extensive European and international connections.
