Today the plan was to visit a very popular little town called Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. It took about an hour and a half to get there and we took two cars because everyone came. It is a very famous town because Vincent Van Gough did many of his paintings here and it is the home to the Psychiatric Hospital where he resided.   We wandered around the gorgeous little streets  in the centre of the town and visited the stunning old church.
