St.-Rémy is a lovely town of about 10,000 people in the northern part of the Alpilles in Provence. We spent a week here and on four of the days did trips to other interesting cities in the area. St. Rémy was quiet (at least during late March!) with plenty of amenities. Vincent van Gogh spent a year in the Saint-Paul Asylum here and painted The Starry Night during that time. The ruins of the Roman city of Glanum are walking distance from the town. The area is filled with vineyards and orchards and there is a fabulous market that takes over the downtown on one day a week.
