The route follows part of France's oldest road, Via Domitia, and the Compostelle GR653D, crosses the Canal des Alpinnes, and passes the boards dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh... And if time permits, take a trip to the Antiques Museum, the Glanum town and the Cabestan at the St Paul quarry. Nature-wise, St Rémy-de-Provence lies at the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles, so the area's landscape heritage is a major asset: olive groves, vineyards, hills and mountains.

The route follows part of France's oldest road, Via Domitia, and the Compostelle GR653D, crosses the Canal des Alpinnes, and passes the boards dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh... And if time permits, take a trip to the Antiques Museum, the Glanum town and the Cabestan at the St Paul quarry. Nature-wise, St Rémy-de-Provence lies at the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles, so the area's landscape heritage is a major asset: olive groves, vineyards, hills and mountains. These are all assets for the flora and fauna, and it's not uncommon to come across Bonelli's eagle, "the regional treasure", the Circaète Jean Leblanc and the Percnopter vulture soaring overhead. Not far away, the Plateau de la Caume reserve is home to most of these species.
Information panels are available along the route.
