One day · Saint-Rémy
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in one day
The most elegant village of the Alpilles gives itself in a day — provided you take it slowly: morning boutiques, a midday terrace, afternoon delights, and a night for those who no longer want to leave.
Alpilles & Luberon
Morning — the boutiques
Start with the houses that make the village elegant: Waho for outdoor furniture and the art of living outside, Aubanel for family jewellery, La Troprovençale for sweet things to take home — and Le Baume Intégral, the universal balm born here.

Noon and afternoon — the terraces
The Place de la République belongs to the Café de la Place — the iconic address, from morning coffee to dinner. For a more Provençal table, the Bistrot des Alpilles and its shaded terrace on the Boulevard Mirabeau. In the afternoon, two visits that tell the village: Pascal Bouterin's studio, where painting is approached like jazz under a signature cobalt blue, and the Domaine de Métifiot, its vines and olive oil at the gates of Saint-Rémy.

Evening — staying
Those in the know don't leave the same evening: the Vallon de Valrugues keeps watch between the Alpilles and Van Gogh's countryside, with its spa to erase the road. Saint-Rémy at dawn is worth every detour.
