The 2 holes rock

To the south of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence stands an imposing rock, sculpted by time and the mistral wind. This wind sweeps through the garrigue, carrying away the scents of thyme and rosemary, and creating a setting vibrant with life and light.

Depicted by Vincent van Gogh in his painting ‘Les Alpilles aux oliviers’ (The Alpilles and the olive trees), this area offers a panorama that stretches from the north of Provence, dotted with olive groves and hills, to the relief of the south. A natural passageway, known as ‘le trou’, adds a touch of mystery, while the rock, polished by erosion, bears witness to the relentless force of the elements.

A place to recharge your batteries, where the tranquillity of Provence invites you to let yourself be carried away by the wild beauty of the Alpilles.
