ABOUT
The unrivalled view of the Alpilles mountains is what sets this well-designed and attractive house apart. In a quiet location near to two of the main St Remy attractions – the Glanum site and the St Paul Mausole where Van Gogh spent his most prolific year – the house is only 10 minutes’ walk from all the town centre has to offer. The house has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a cloakroom and sleeps nine people. There is a fully-fitted kitchen with an open-plan living room which has a traditional Provencal fireplace. The enclosed garden has a boules court and a swimming pool that can be heated.

GALLERY
THINGS TO DO
Town Centre
St Remy de Provence is a pretty little town with a well-preserved old centre of narrow winding streets and charming shops, restaurants and cafes, plus a couple of museums and private art galleries.
Walking
The house is on the edge of town looking up to the Alpilles hills, where lovely walks can be had. Very nearby is Lac du Peiroou which is a very pretty small artificial lake with great views, popular for angling and picnicking.
Wineries
Just round the corner from Maison Glanum is the new winery of Domaine de Metifiot where there are tours and wine tasting. A few miles away is Chateau Romanin, an estate that uses the biodynamic method, which also has tours and tastings.
Cultural sites
The house is right next to St Remy’s three main tourist attractions: St Paul de Mausole, the sanatorium where Van Gogh spent a year; two well preserved Roman monuments (Les Antiques); and Glanum, the remains of the old roman town that was founded here. The town is also the birthplace of Nostradamus.
Markets
St Remy has a great market on Wednesday mornings, which gets extremely busy in Summer. Half an hour’s drive away is L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, well known for its antiques shops and weekend markets.
Local area
A short hop away is Les Baux, - a remarkable mediaval hilltop fortress and village with an amazing history. In the caves there is the Carrieres de Lumieres show – artworks projected on the walls and animated, which is well worth a visit.
