Glanum archaeological site in St-Rémy de Provence

Originally Greek and later Roman, the Glanum archaeological site is situated in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, in the heart of the Alpilles. Discovered by chance barely a century ago, this unique site offers a glimpse into the past and an insight into the lifestyle of the inhabitants of that era. Come and discover the monumental triumphal arch, the thermal baths and the basilica, before strolling through the narrow streets of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

Guarding the Rhône, Tarascon’s medieval fort signals the entrance to the Alpilles for cyclists on the Méditerranée à Vélo route. The town of St-Rémy-de-Provence makes an unmissable stop for atmosphere and for understanding Van Gogh’s fascination with this area, marked by the special light emanating from the local limestone. The greenway from St-Etienne-du-Grès to St-Rémy-de-Provence is a successful transformation of a former rail line, with stopping points for cyclists as well as locals to enjoy. The last stretch of this stage takes you along pretty little farm tracks, with beautiful views over the Alpilles. A cycle path leads you across the Durance River, facilitating your arrival in the town of Cavaillon.
