We opted to checkout a bit more of Saint-Remy this morning.
The village of St. Rémy is full of charm, very pretty, picturesque and one of the oldest towns in France.
The old historic centre is surrounded by the remnants of the circular 14th-century wall.
In 1503 Nostradamus, the famous doctor and astrologer was born here.
Van Gogh painted approximately 150 canvases including the « Starry Night » when he spent time at the St. Paul’s Hospital.
Dr Albert Schweitzer was prisoner here.
It had rained heavy throughout the night and was a bit drizzly looking as we ventured out.
We were armed with an umbrella just in case.
The dolphin fountain ...
We strolled thru the historic centre dodging the rain by popping in and out of a few boutiques.
The weather has been wonderful from the moment we landed on Saturday with temperatures in the low 30s Celsius.
The facade of the Maire
We strolled thru the historic centre dodging the rain by popping in and out of a few boutiques.
First stop ... we found the interesting home decor shop “ Les Comptoirs des Alpilles “ that my friend, Claire recommended.
Next we discovered this little shop or at least we thought it was “little” until we walked in.
The space continued and continued and included a mini museum in the upper level.
Here we sampled jams, olives, tapenade ... it was delicatable!
Since the rain continued, we went to one of the larger supermarkets, Carrefour on the outskirts of Avignon (about 1/2 hour away).
We had a good shop and also Monsieur Mark came away with a new hairstyle.
Tonight we dined at home « Mas d’Oscar » ... it was Team Madames turn to be the top chefs.

Wednesday is Market Day so we will be hanging around this beautiful town tomorrow also.
