In a six hectares place
you will discover a great variety of herbal scents, plants and
trees from the beautiful area. In the gardens, the scent of
thyme, rosemary lavender and mint combined with the beauty of the
mythical olive tree will revive your senses. Under the pine trees,
swing on the rhythm of the air that sweeps through the trees. |

 Saint-Remy-de-Provence
has an exceptional historical and cultural heritage. You will be
enchanted by the beauty of the monuments and the living traditions.
St-Rémy is associated with Vincent van Gogh: He committed himself to
an asylum here in 1889 after cutting off his left ear. His "cell"
was later occupied by an interned German during World War I - Albert Schweitzer. Between moods of despair, van Gogh painted such
works as Olive Trees and Cypresses. Come to sleepy St-Rémy today not
only for its memories and sights, but for an experience of Provençal
small-town living that you won't find in Aix or Avignon. It's a
market town of considerable charm and attracts the occasional
celebrity who "hides out" here away from the hordes. |
