 Hugh Grant fell in love with Eygalières and with the charm of Provence !the English actor chose to spend Summertime in this genuine village nestled  in the mediterranean vegetation. He is besides not the only one to be seduced by the place. What about a short walk in the village streets ? Of course the sounds of the cicadas and the thyme perfume will be missing!

In the heart of Provence, this charming village enjoys a real provençal art de vivre : wander along the boulevards under the plane-tree shade, stroll around the narrow streets, find out a square where a fountain gently gurgles, the attractive boutiques and the Art galeries bring life to this town center.

Take a seat at a café or a restaurant terrace and taste the aromatic local cuisine. Getting to Saint Rémy de Provence  also means taking advantage of the Natural Park of the Alpilles

If you get there you will understand how this magic environment where the sun shines more than 300 days per year has enchanted so many people, including well-known personalities.
