On this self guided short walking holiday, you will follow Van Gogh’s steps into the most secret of the Alpilles landscapes. You will spend time in the artsy town of Saint-Rémy, the spectacular village of Les Baux, the picturesque village of Maussane and its olive mills. And finally the Roman city of Arles at the enf of your trip.
Van Gogh arrived here in the late 19th century, and this beautiful region inspired some of his greatest work: the chiseled teeth of the Alpilles mountains that soar high above the Rhône Valley, the sunflower fields, the Mistral winds that rhythmically sweep the lone cypress tree. Your trip ends in Arles, the "Rome" of Provence. An easy short walking break, ideal for families, under the great lights of Provence.
Arrival on your own in St Remy de Provence. Explore the artsy Saint-Rémy de Provence and its environs, the museum of Van Gogh’s paintbrush. Head into the sunlit hills to discover the remains of the Roman town of Glanum.
