Location
About the surrounding area of La Maison FleurieSaint-Rémy-de-Provence is a typically French town which is not overrun with tourists, despite having plenty to see and do. The gorgeous streets here open out on to lively town squares filled with fountains and floral displays, making this a wonderful place to simply wander around and soak in the atmosphere. Art and history lovers will be right at home on a trip to Saint-Rémy as the town has a rich history and an artistic heritage. While strolling around, you can take in sights such as Roman ruins, The 12th century Saint-Martin collegiate church and the Monastery of Saint Paul-de-Mausole. You may also be interested to know that the town is the birthplace of famed Royal astrologer and seer Nostradamus; in town you can take a tour to learn more about him or visit his former home.
Another famous former resident of the town is Vincent Van Gogh, who spent a year living here in a small room within the monastery which also served as an asylum. The Dutch artist produced over 100 paintings during his time here, you can see the places that inspired these by picking up an audio guide and doing the Van Gogh walk or you can visit the numerous museums related to him. On top of all of these attractions, Saint-Rémy also has all of the facilities and amenities you would need while on holiday, including boutique shops, bustling markets, cafes and restaurants.
Just outside of the town, you can explore the expansive parkland which makes up the Regional Park of the Alpilles. This vast, mountainous and forested area is a fabulous place to visit if you enjoy spending time outside in nature. Here you can hike, cycle, go horse riding, take climbing lessons or even book a hot air balloon ride over the patchwork of fields, there is plenty to do here in this breathtaking area. The area is also well-known for its fresh produce and its wines, so you could always spend a day visiting local farms and vineyards for wine tastings and to purchase some delicious local goods.
If you would like to visit another one of Provence’s amazing towns and cities, why not give Avignon a try? The enchanting city is just 25km away and yet has a completely different feel to it to Saint-Rémy. Avignon is known for its connection to the papacy and is one of the region’s star attractions.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesIn the midst of the Alpilles mountains, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a beautiful, typically Provencal town which is a lovely place to spend a holiday with children. You can easily pass a number of days in the town just pottering around museums and galleries and sipping coffee in the pretty squares as the kids run around by the fountains and play on the fantastic playground. This is an idyllic place where you can take things slowly.
The town and nearby surroundings are also full of attractions you can take the kids to, including the ruins of the Roman town of Glanum. The town hails from 2500BC, so kids can get a real feel for antiquity here as they wander around the ancient homes, mausoleums, and bath houses. The views over the landscape are really impressive from here too.
