Overview
Only a short walk from the much-loved town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Le Petit Tilleul is a charming family home with true character.
When you step into Le Petit Tilleul, there is a real sense of warmth. Its Provençal appeal is immediately apparent in its spacious living room with traditional features alongside cosy décor. The family-sized kitchen and dining room is lovely for relaxed feasts whilst upstairs there are five comfy bedrooms with a range of sleeping arrangements.
Wander through the pretty shuttered French windows and you’ll discover the delightful garden with colourful summer pots, swathes of lavender, table tennis on the lawn and an inviting swimming pool, perfect for cooling off after a day out exploring. This home is all about care-free holidays in characterful surroundings.
The location is second to none with delightful Saint-Rémy-de-Provence just a short walk or cycle ride away where you will find pretty shops, atmospheric cafes and picturesque lanes featuring studios and galleries. This is an artist’s town and the place that inspired so many of Van Gogh’s paintings – you can visit the monastery where he spent the final years of his life. Food-lovers will also rejoice with many excellent restaurants, from simple bistros to Michelin starred establishments, and don’t miss the vibrant Wednesday morning market that can be found in the old town.
Drive past fields of olive groves and woodland with dramatic views of Les Alpilles before you reach the famous village of Les Baux-de-Provence, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ or head east and discover why A-list celebrities have bought houses in the idyllic village of Eygalières. Sample some of France’s finest olive oil in Maussane-les-Alpilles or discover some of the perched medieval villages of neighbouring Luberon such as Ménerbes, Gordes and Bonnieux.
The stunning city of Avignon is within easy reach as well as Nîmes, with its fascinating Roman monuments. With so many wondrous places to visit, alongside dreamy landscapes, it's no wonder that this is one of the most alluring parts of Provence.

Location
About the surrounding area of Le Petit TilleulIn the Bouches-du-Rhône region of southern France, Le Petit Tilleul is located in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just a ten-minute stroll from the heart of the delightful town.
Experience the typical Provençal way of life as you explore the enchanting lanes and picturesque squares of St-Rémy. Come across pretty shops, little art studios and galleries as well as charming cafes and some excellent restaurants. The Wednesday morning market is especially atmospheric as stalls selling a range of regional delights are scattered across the old town.
St-Rémy is also well-known for its links with Vincent Van Gogh who was greatly inspired by this town and its surrounding landscapes. You can visit the monastery where he lived during the latter part of his life and follow the Van Gogh art-trail throughout the town. Arles (26km) and Gordes (42km) are two other places that most inspired one of the world’s greatest artists.
Discover the idyllic landscapes of the beautiful Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles with its endless olive groves, woodland, meadows of summer herbs and wonderful mountains. This is a walker’s and cyclist’s paradise, while horse-riding is another way to discover the amazing scenery. Golf-lovers only need to drive 11km to the impressive Domaine de Manville with magnificent views from the 18-hole course.
Visit some of the region’s pretty villages such as Eygalières (13km) with its enchanting old town, Maussane-les-Alpilles (10km) where you can sample some of France’s best olive oil and the incredible Les Baux-de-Provence (10km), classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ – head there in the morning to escape the crowds, perhaps followed by a walk in the surrounding countryside.
Avignon (21km) is also easily reached where you can spend the day perusing the many markets, fine-dining in a great choice of restaurants and of course exploring the two UNESCO World Heritage sites, Pont d'Avignon and the Palais des Papes.
A day out in the Luberon is also recommended with its magnificent vistas, vineyards and perched medieval villages such as Bonnieux (45km), Lacoste (43km) and Ménerbes (35km).

Best Suited For: All AgesIt's great to be a short walk away from the heart of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Enjoy the town’s cafes, restaurants, shops, art galleries and the lovely Wednesday morning market which will delight both young and old.
The Vincent Van Gogh art trail is fun to follow around the town – find signposts that tell you about places which inspired the artist, ending at Saint-Paul de Mausole where you can visit the room in which the artist lived. History lovers could also combine it with a trip to the Glanum archaeological site just south of the town.
There are many lovely walks through the countryside of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles - pony-trekking, rock-climbing and cycling are also popular in this area. If you are a fan of canoeing then drive north to sail canoes or kayaks from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse to the wonderful town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famous for its antique shops and pretty waterways. Le Pont du Gard near Nîmes, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, is another popular spot for canoeing.
Avignon, just half an hour away, is also a great day out – take a tour of the city with the little road train and visit two more UNESCO World Heritage sites before soaking up the vibrant atmosphere at one of the many markets. A summer boat trip on the Rhone is also a lot of fun.
Close to Les Baux-de-Provence, spectacular events take place at Carrières De Lumière, a disused quarry where light-shows are projected on to the walls showing works of art with a musical accompaniment.
