Saint-Rémy’s vibrant Wednesday morning attracts visitors from across the region whilst there are other atmospheric markets in places such as Maussane-les-Alpilles (17km), Fontvieille (26km) and Avignon of course.
Meanwhile, Les Alpilles Natural Regional Park offers opportunities for walking, hiking, cycling and mountain biking or tour the landscapes on horseback. Discover wine-tasting opportunities near Saint-Rémy or further afield across the Rhône valley and Luberon vineyards. Meanwhile, canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue River is a special experience – paddle as far as the enchanting town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (26km).
The 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!
