This was my 5th time to visit and I have written other rave reviews, so I will just repeat that this is well-worth a visit if you have any interest in Greek/Roman history and ruins. It is also been interesting to see how Glanum has changed and grown over the last 10 years, since discoveries are on-going. My wife's dream is to come work in the ruins for a few months--if anyone at Glanum reads this and wants another volunteer!!!

Psychiatric centre which treated Van Gogh after he cut off his ear.

We happened upon this on our walk to Glanum from St Remy. They have done an excellent job of showcasing Van Gogh’s art along the walk and it was very interesting to see the place where Van Gogh spent a year of his life

A family run business, created in 2000, by brother and sister team Anne and Gilles Brun. Specialising in the production of cold pressed, extra virgin, mono variety, olive oils from five different types of olive and a house blend of the five varieties. Come and visit this working olive oil mill, set in the beautiful countryside just outside the town of St Rémy de Provence. Take a guided tour and sample the range of produce from the mill's kitchen.

First thing to say is this is free to artists. Otherwise only 5euros. Just remember your art society membership card. When I visited the receptionist spoke great english and had spent time in the Uk including my home town of Edinburgh. There were 4 different art exhibitions. Contemporary but all very different styles. Plus an informative display with audio and videos included about Van Gogh. St Remy is on a Van Gogh trail with the St Pauls Sanitarium only a 1 klm walk away where VanGogh stayed for treatment and produced many works. The art in the gallery was a joy and the Van Gogh centre informative but dont expect any original work of his. Look carefully for opening times as well as those of the sanitorium, prior to organising your visit. Recommended

Every Wednesday morning Saint-Remy-de-Provence transforms to a bustling market. You can buy everything here- fresh fruit & vegetables, cheeses of every variety, meats -cured & fresh, breads & pastries, antipasto products, nougat & sweets, clothes, hats, knives, home wares, knick knacks, almost everything. We bought the most delicious cherries & cantaloupe we had in our time in France here. Warning, it gets very busy, so go early!
7. Chateau Romanin
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 88 reviews
Last massif before the Mediterranean Sea, the Alpilles are lighted up with thousands of glints. On its northern side, between Saint- Rémy-de-Provence and Eygalières, nature has fortuitously drawn a triumphant "V". A geological breach that creates a dynamic and exceptional relief. Perhaps you might behold the gliders' serene ballet above the ruins of a 13th century castle. You have just arrived, indeed, at Château Romanin. In the middle of the mythical and historic Provence, discover a majestic and unique vineyard, cultivated according to the rhythm of nature and biodynamic methods. Embodied by an ancient castle and a modern cellar, Château Romanin is protected and magnified by a real underground cathedral carved out of rock. Wine & olive oil tasting and sale at the cellar. Guided tour by appointment.

We had a bottle of Chateau Romanin from the cave of the two star Michelin restaurant Oustau Baumaniere and knew we had to visit! Superb location high in the Alpilles with the cave built into the side of the mountain, near the castle ruins. Great personalized service. Shipped home two cases.

A 1km walk connecting the center of Saint Remy de Provence and Saint Paul de Mausole where Vincent van Gogh lived the last years of his life, decorated with panels depicting paintings by the artist all along the way. Panels are not at the place where Van Gogh painted them.
Reviewed By chicago90Phoenix
I am a big Van Gogh fan and I was very happy to see exactly where he painted several of his masterpieces, right on this property of the asylum. It is also across the street from the roman ruins, too.
