Les Antiques

Saint Rémy de Provence, a pretty, sleepy town, nestled in the shade of its plane trees. Of interest in the town are a Romanesque church, Renaissance houses, and a busy public square. On its outskirts, following the D5 south in the direction of Les Baux de Provence, is the Clinique de Saint Paul where Van Gogh was nursed back to health after slicing off his earlobe; Les Antiques, an impressive arch and mausoleum commissioned by Augustus; and Glanum, a thriving point of commerce during the Gallo-Greek years that was virtually destroyed in the 3rd century.
