Cenotaph and Ancient Arch Near Glanum - Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
Cenotaph and Ancient Arch Near Glanum
We Have Visit Here Twice While Going to Les Baux

On both visits we visited St. Paul-de-Mausole to see where van Gogh stayed for a year. We only passed through the town itself. We were more interested in Glanum, the ancient city that was once here. Across the road from Glanum is a Cenotaph and an Arch from those times through which a road from the Alps ran on to Milan. Nostradamus was born and grew up in the town.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:van Gogh Enjoyed St. Remy and So Did We

  • In a nutshell:A Splendid Cenotaph
