We absolutely love St Rémy, more than any other town or city in Provence. It’s a charming small town, very walkable, lots of places to eat, fun shops, a well known twice weekly outdoor market, easy to drive in and out of. We stayed at Hotel du Soleil and loved it. We liked Arles, but it’s a city and does not have the quintissential French charm that St Rémy has.
