Founded in 500 B.C., the commune’s rich past is still visible in many places: beautiful, tastefully restored residences, Renaissance and 18th-century mansions, charming old streets, magnificent scenery… the village where Nostradamus was born has captured the hearts of many artists. Van Gogh stayed here and painted almost 150 canvases, musicians composed and writers wrote.
St Rémy is also a land of gastronomy: its olive oil crosses borders, and its vines produce an excellent AOC Les Baux de Provence wine.
