Saint Rémy de Provence Private Guided Walking Tour

Discover the charming heart of Provence with a two-hour walking tour of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where art, history, and southern elegance blend effortlessly. Surrounded by olive groves and the landscapes of the Alpilles, the town enchants visitors with its sunlit stone houses, shaded squares, graceful fountains, and inviting café terraces. Its authentic yet refined atmosphere makes it one of the most delightful destinations in southern France.

As you stroll through historic streets, Roman traces and medieval architecture reveal the rich heritage of Saint-Rémy. Elegant façades, lively squares, and quiet lanes open onto peaceful corners that reflect the harmony of light, stone, and landscape so characteristic of Provence. Along the way, discover the traditions and cultural influences that have shaped this charming town over the centuries.

A highlight of the tour is the profound connection with Vincent van Gogh, who stayed here from 1889 to 1890. During his time at the nearby asylum, he created more than 150 paintings, drawing inspiration from the surrounding olive groves, cypress trees, and luminous skies of the Alpilles, one of the most intense and productive periods of his career.

For those interested, an optional visit to the Monastère Saint-Paul de Mausole, the former asylum where Van Gogh was treated, can be included on request. Nestled among tranquil gardens and Romanesque cloisters, it offers a deeper insight into the place where solitude and creativity came together to shape some of his most celebrated works.
