Les Baux de Provence
Casual lunch or Snack in the village.
The road up to Les Baux from the southeast passes trough olive groves and vineyards. And after…the sightseeing is amazing.
There are incredible rock formations in this part of the Alpilles, with the road seemingly cut through solid rock with single strokes of some giant’s knife.
The village area is a stone and cobblestone medieval village. Just inside the entrance to the village are narrow cobblestone streets, terrace cafés, souvenir shops.
Saint Rémy de Provence.
The village of St. Rémy is pretty and picturesque, and the old Gallo-Roman interior is circled by the remnants of the circular 14th-century wall and the protective circle of buildings.
Visit of Saint Paul de Mausole monastery
Vincent Van Gogh was voluntarily confined in the Asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole beside Saint-Rémy. During this period of his life he painted two of his most notable works : Starry Night and Self-Portrait.
