Towards the Montagnette
(1/2-day trip)
Natural site of Inland Provence, the Montagnette lies to the northwest of the Alpilles, between the Rhône and the Durance. Leaving Saint-Rémy, take the road to Maillane to explore the village of Frédéric Mistral, poet, linguist and Nobel prizewinner (museum). Then go on to Graveson and visit the museum of aromas and perfume. Now head for Saint-Michel-de- Frigolet where Alphonse Daudet chose to situate his tale “l’Elixir du Révérend Père Gaucher”. The excursion continues towards Tarascon as described in circuit 4. From Tarascon, visit the village of Boulbon and its Romanesque chapels then return to Saint Rémy or visit the agricultural plain known as the Petit Crau via Barbentane and Châteaurenard.
