Maison Marijo is on the edge of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, an artistic town located in Les Alpilles Natural Regional Park, only 22km from the historic city of Avignon.

It’s lovely to be able to stroll to the heart of Saint-Remy (1.5km) in around 15 to 20 minutes (no pavement for the first 600m or so). With its plane tree-lined boulevards, atmospheric squares and winding cobblestone lanes, this vibrant market town has long captivated artists, writers and travellers in search of beauty and authenticity. Don’t miss the wonderful bustling market on a Wednesday morning, a fantastic way to pick up a wealth of seasonal delights.

A very short distance away, the Site Archéologique de Glanum offers a fascinating glimpse into the town's Roman past, with its remarkably preserved ruins set against the distant mountains. Also nearby, the Monastery Saint-Paul de Mausole invites reflection—it’s where Van Gogh painted some of his most iconic works during his stay in the late 19th century. Today, visitors can explore the monastery and surrounding gardens, retracing the artist’s steps through this deeply inspiring landscape. 

The surrounding Alpilles region beckons with a tapestry of enchanting villages. Discover the understated elegance of Eygalières (12km), with its traditional stone houses, high-end restaurants and pretty Friday morning market. Perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop, Les Baux-de-Provence (9.5km) is a visual masterpiece, offering panoramic views from its medieval château. Meanwhile, Maussane-les-Alpilles (9km) delights with authentic bistros and a picturesque village square, perfect for a leisurely Provençal lunch on a restaurant terrace.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to indulge in across Les Alpilles, from scenic walks (there are paths close to the house) and olive oil tastings to cycling and hiking trails that reveal the natural splendour of this protected park. Just beyond, Arles (25km) enchants with its Roman amphitheatre and artistic legacy, while the Camargue tempts with wild white horses, pink flamingos, and sprawling salt marshes.

Saint-Rémy also makes an ideal base for day trips. Avignon’s Gothic grandeur and the spectacular Pont du Gard (40km) aqueduct lie within easy reach, while the picturesque hilltop villages of the Luberon (Gordes and Roussillon, for example) offer unforgettable detours into the heart of Provençal life in less than an hour by car.
