It’s a good destination any time, but extra special on a Wednesday morning with the outdoor food and flea market going strong, as we’ll show you coming up soon in the program.
Provence in the south of France is famous for its outdoor markets and you'll find the market at Saint-Rémy is one of the best.
But just simply walking the pedestrian lanes of this small town any day of the week is probably the most interesting thing you could do here and we are going to show you all the places to see.
The village center is small enough that you can just walk any place you like, it doesn't take long, and you won't get lost, but this map route gives you some idea of a sequence of lanes you can easily walk through the little town. That would only take you about one hour altogether to cover the entire village, but of course you’ll want to linger, do some shopping, take some pictures and look around.

The Chamonix Saturday Morning Market, France
An American Farmers Market doesn't come close to resembling markets in Europe with the bountiful amounts of cheese, sausage, wine, luscious pasta (even filled with rabbit), incredible and flavor-filled fruits. I wouldn't dream of missing one.
It's always a treat to walk around and indulge on samples from the friendly sellers. Triple y--u--m--m--y....
Morning in Southern France
Quick movie I made of a morning in Saint Rémy de Provence, France. It was the first day that it was cloudy. Petrie Bakery is the best.
Sorry I spelt some names wrong. I got them right in the description.
Arles, France 7 eve-morn
A most pleasant activity is to take an evening wander through the very quaint little back lanes of Arles. There are a few shops and restaurants in the neighborhood, but by and large we are going to be showing you typical residential area in the old town. There is a significant population living here in residential buildings that go back through the centuries.
The Arena is just another two blocks over -- the ancient Roman Arena is the biggest historic feature of town. It's really a remarkably well-preserved structure and especially lovely to see it at twilight, with the skylight behind, and the spotlights on the façade. Not much left of Van Gogh here, but there's a foundation in his honor next to the Arena.
This is just kind of an aimless stroll were going to lead you on, through some of the residential district. These little lanes are just a couple of blocks away from the shopping streets, and are especially enjoyable at twilight. You can simply walk along, enjoying the peace and quiet.
Then take a turn back into the busy part of town. At 7 o'clock 8 o'clock at night it's very much alive in the main square, the Place de la Republique, surrounded by plenty of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants everywhere.
Just a few blocks over is the Boulevard Lice, the main busy street of town and at this hour there are lots of people out. The streets are lit up nicely here in November. It's about 7 PM, so it's pretty dark already, but enjoys that lingering effect of the late twilight.
We come upon the old arcade which is a very famous place. This Hotel de Dieux used to be a hospital and this is where van Gogh was brought after he sliced his ear. Now, the building is a cultural center and a little shopping mall. Of course, Van Gogh lived in Arles, famously for just about a year during which he created 200 paintings and 100 drawings. It was a very prolific year for that great artist, right towards the end of his life.
Arles was a fortified town ever since its Roman origins nearly 2000 years ago, with a wall around it. You can see the remains of a Roman aqueduct which enabled them to bring water in from the distance.
And on top of it is the ruins of an old medieval wall that surrounded the town.
Just next to that wall on certain mornings there is a lively market where you can get fruits and vegetables, and you can have a snack while you're there. They've also got some souvenirs for sale, some T-shirts and clothing, and it's a place to hang out and watch the locals on parade -- a spot the, morning market in Arles just on the edge of the old town. You might even see groups of school kids heading for class.
Even if you're not buying any of these fruits or vegetables, it's always enjoyable to watch the market, even if it's a rainy morning as we had.
One of the great things that you might want to purchase while you're in Provence -- a really characteristic item -- are the fabrics, the colorful Provencal fabrics. These are all made here in the area around Provence, using very nice cotton material, and printed in with those characteristic pastel colors, the yellows, greens and oranges, depicting natural motifs of olives and herbs blended into the flowing, geometric patterns.
St Remy's 2 1/2 Minute Parade
You never know what little jewel is waiting for you just around the corner here in Provence. On this pretty autumn morning I headed over to St. Remy to the market, and discovered a little parade. It feels like they went to a lot of trouble for 2 1/2 minutes, but the participants enjoyed it, and so did I.
Life here is full of pleasant little surprises.
Winter in Aix En Provence
Arles, France 6 am stroll
Arles, in Provence, in the south of France. We enjoy another morning stroll, hanging out in Place Voltaire, a charming spot to watch the day begin, with its little tree-shaded square in the center surrounded by lovely old buildings. A couple of cafés and small food shops are open, but nothing much else is happening. La Giraudière opens later, serving tasty lunch and dinner. You'll see a few people on their way to work or school, but this village square is fairly quiet at this hour. There are several nice little two-star hotels located around the plaza in this part of town with reasonable rates, including Gaughin, Voltaire and Mirador. Walk a few hundred yards west to the ancient Roman Baths of Constantine, built in the 4th century, which you can appreciate from the outside, saving time and money, while enjoying a view of the Rhône River.

Places to see in ( Saint Remy - France )
Places to see in ( Saint Remy - France )
In the majestic setting of the Alpilles, between Avignon and Arles, nestles a gem of a city: Saint-Rémy de Provence. Private mansions from the Renaissance and the 18th century, beautifully restored homes, chapels and convents line the winding streets of the historic centre. Shaded boulevards, squares adorned with old fountains and the terraces of the cafés and restaurants are all invitations to enjoy the Provençal way of life.It's beautiful heritage is crowned by the archaeological site of Glanum and the ancient monuments, such as the Triumphal Arch and the Jules Mausoleum, exceptional legacies of Late Antiquity.
The town, which witnessed the birth of Nostradamus, was and still is a source of inspiration for many artists. Seduced by the setting and the town's atmosphere, many have chosen to live here and numerous studios and art galleries thrive in the town centre. The Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausolé, a gem of Provençal Romanesque architecture, is famous for having taken in and inspired Vincent Van Gogh in 1889 (this is where he painted 150 of his most well-known works). There you can see the reconstitution of the famous patient's room. A circuit Promenade dans l'Univers de Vincent Van Gogh shows you the places that inspired him for his paintings and takes you from the ancient Roman site Glanum to the Estrine Museum.
A few museums offer a fine complement to the discovery of Saint-Rémy's heritage:
- the Museum of the Alpilles, in the magnificent Mistral de Mondragon mansion, with a collection based around regional ethnology, typography and the graphic arts.
- the Estrine Museum, set out in an 18th century mansion, presents a permanent collection devoted to graphic arts and 20th and 21st centuries paintings as well as temporary exhibitions of contemporary painters.
The Vincent Van Gogh Interpretation Centre reviews the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh in a modern lay-out.
- The Hôtel de Sade houses the archaeological collections of the Roman site of Glanum; it reopens its door in September 2016.
Saint-Rémy is also in the heart of a land of gastronomy and, throughout the Alpilles, olive orchards and vineyards have fashioned the landscape and offer us a whole range of renowned olive oils and AOC Baux de Provence wines, of which most of the vineyards are organically farmed. The produce of the land can be found in abundance every Wednesday morning when the weekly market livens up the town centre.
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence has preserved its traditions and its personality. Festive events add flavour to the town's life throughout the year: the Route des Artistes, the bullfights and other bull events, the transhumance festival, the Horse and Antiques fair, concerts and exhibitions. In the heart of a preserved countryside, the Alpilles offer a whole range of activities: walking and hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing, hang gliding, tennis, golf.
In the nearby area, try not to miss visiting Les Baux de Provence, the Saint-Sixte Chapel in Eygalières, the Frédéric Mistral Museum in Maillane, the writer Alphonse Daudet's windmill in Fontvieille, the villages of Maussane-les-Alpilles, Mouriès and Tarascon and its castle. Arles is just 25 kilometres away and the Camargue with its sea ponds, salt marshes and beaches lets you discover other horizons.

Sunday at the Aligire Market in Paris
Ever wonder where Parisians (in all those thousands of apartments) shop for food? Mainly in outside markets held around the city on many days of the week. Here's a small peek into what we found in the 12th arrondissement.
