St Remy-de-Provence is a little village in Provence a region in France. It is very charming in the summer.
- Visit the remains of an old amphitheater
- The rock formations and quarries surrounding La Baux.
- Walk to Glanum, ruins of an old ancient Roman/Gaul city recently excavated. Well worth the admission if you have an imagination and enjoy history. Nostradamus was born in St Rémy.
- Follow the paths of Vincent Van Gogh who lived in Saint-Remy for a short time.
- Hike in the Alpilles.
- Wander the old-town of St. Remy, in the centreville. The stores are pretty, but their prices are not. The fountains are worth a stop, and are usually flanked by cafes, perfect for a nice rest and un cafe.
Buy nothing until Wednesday, when shops cut their heavily inflated prices to attempt to compete with the street merchants. Most goods may be found for far less at the Sunday market in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
- The village has numerous pancake cafés which serve French crêpes but can get expensive. Lou Planet's creperie located in the central old town (Place Favier) charges roughly 5 Euro for a crepe (many choices), and is well worth the price.
- Great pizza can be had at a shop neighboring the restaurant "Le Cigalon", at the corner of Rue A. Paulet and Boulevard Marceau. Open late, take out only, very helpful staff.
- Enjoy a coffee under the tree shade
- Pastis, at roughly a 4-to-1 ratio with water. If you are staying for a while with a group, a bottle of Ricard from a super-marche (Spar, or InterMarche) would be a good idea.
