The village has preserved its authentic charm with beautiful stone houses and gardens. Saint Rémy de Provence is one of the numerous “must-sees” in Provence surrounded by lush green perfumed valleys. Its ancient streets are lined with beautifully restored old houses. The commune gave us Nostradamus and L’Arlésienne, an invitation to tasteful hedonism…
