About the host
Hosted by Dominique Viard
Since the first time my husband and I went to Saint Rémy de Provence, we have been dazzled by the Alpilles light, the characteristic scent of the provencal markets, the taste of the olive oil and of the rosé wine of les Baux de Provence. Our dream then, was to build a house where we could welcome our children and friends. Saint Rémy's charm and authenticity were the reasons of our immediate choice. We hope you'll have as much of a great experience of the unique Provence lifestyle that St Rémy provides as we did and still do.
Why they chose this property
We love Provence and its lifestyle, the light, painted by so many artists like Van Gogh or Cezanne, the sunshine weather. We choose St Rémy as it is a charming and lovely village. The house is a ten minute walk from the historical center, which makes it very convenient. It is in a very quiet area and the pool and the garden are very peaceful. Finally, the access is very easy from Paris (2hrs 40min by TGV train)
What makes this property unique
The open-air provencal market (on Wednesdays in Saint Rémy):this regionally well-known market will offer you a varied choice of fresh products, provencal fabrics, locally produced olive oil. You will be amazed by the profusion of colors and scents which will submerge you! You will love to cook these beautiful fresh produce in the large kitchen very well equipped for a "chef"!!
The Alpilles Hills: These hills are very close to the house and the tracks can be used by any walker (children, families, hikers), runner or mountain biker. Road bikers also enjoy the unique landscapes of Provence and can bike from the challenging Mont Ventoux to the flat Camargue. Walking from Saint Rémy to les Baux de Provence: You will enjoy an amazing view of the region all along. For photos lovers! Don't forget a visit at the Carrières de Lumieres, a unique light and sound show located in the former quarries. The Golf courses: There are several beautiful golf courses in the area, such as in les Baux de Provence (18 holes: Domaine de Manville) or Mouriès (18 holes: Domaine de Servanes, our favourite, a magical place) The easy access: the TGV Avignon train station as well as the nearby Marseille-Marignane airport allow you to come either from Paris, Lyon, Marseille or anywhere else in Europe in a very short time.
