Things To Do
Château d'Estoublon
This regal chateau sits on a property which produces olive oil and wine. It's the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon wine or olive tasting, while their gift shop will make certain that your suitcase is filled with culinary delights!
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
St-Rémy is one of the prettiest, most picturesque towns in Provence. It's steady infusion of style, art, imagination are brought together by people with a respect for local traditions and a love of Provençal ways. Here, more than anywhere, you can meditate quietly on antiquity, browse aromatic markets with basket in hand, peer down the very row of plane trees painted from Van Gogh, and also enjoy urbane galleries, cosmopolitan shops, and specialty food boutiques. An abundance of chic choices awaits you!
L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Known as the Venice of Provence, this charming town hosts a canal that wraps around the interior and boasts of a plethora of antique shops. For vintage lovers, it's a paradise! It's also known for its cafes and restaurants. Consider arriving for an early lunch along the canal (restaurants fill up quick) and then spend a couple hours strolling the meandering back passages of antique shops.
Arles
Art, history and exceptional architecture collide in Arles, located on the Camargue delta of the Rhône. This ancient city has a long and storied heritage worthy of exploration. The city's Provencial light and colorful buildings appear in several of Van Gogh's treasured works.
Local Markets
If you will be in Provence before or after the wedding, we highly recommend you visit one of the local outdoor markets to pick up some fresh produce, les fromages, and olives for munching. It's such a French tradition and one where you'll feel like a local. Most notable are St. Remy de Provence, Aix en Provence, and Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Market Days: - Wednesday - St. Remy de Provence - Friday - Fontvieille - bring Euros with you just in case some vendors do not take credit cards - most farmers/vendors won't speak English so be ready to point at what you want :))
