St Remy de Provence Attractions

|
St Rémy de Provence is situated about 20km/12.5mi south of Avignon to the east of the Rhône in the northern foothills of the Alpilles. The town became famous because of Glanum, an important Graeco- Roman town, and as the place where Vincent van Gogh lived.
Between May, 1889 and May, 1890 the painter Vincent van Gogh lived - not entirely willingly - in St Rémy. In 1888 he had settled in Arles, where the scenery and the light of Provence led him to his new style of painting with bright vibrant colors. Gauguin, who was very close to him, visited him there in December.
