In the Provence hills, the chic little town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is very well appreciated by artists and key figures for its charming boulevards lined with plane trees, its pretty alleyways, its shops, its cafés and restaurants, and its République square, very lively during market days.
Outside of the city is the Antiques plateau, the ancient town of Glanum. Beautiful Romanesque remains there include the mausoleum (18 metres in height), the municipal arch and the field of ancient ruins comprising temples, a forum, thermal baths, and an ornamental lake.
The Saint-Paul-de-Mausole monastery, hospice since the XVIIIth century, is famous for having welcomed Vincent Van Gogh. Inspired by surrounding nature, the painter produced some of his most famous works there, such as the Sunflowers (Les Tournesols) and the Cypress (Les Cyprès).
