About this experience

What to expect

<p>If you’re exploring the South of France, there are plenty of reasons to stop by Glanum. The quaint commune depicted in Van Gogh’s iconic Starry Night is just a stone’s throw from St. Remy de Provence. It features well-preserved ruins of an ancient settlement that you can explore. Spend an hour or so admiring the Roman remains of its temples, cathedral, squares, and houses, all rediscovered a century ago!</p>

Amazing Celtic and Roman ruins. You can really appreciate the layers of history here. It’s a big site and you can walk through almost all of it to appreciate. Highly recommend a visit. The views are stunning!

Great site and much larger than expected. You can get a real understanding of Roman life from the ruins and printed leaflet (in English). Worth spending an hour or so on site visiting. You might be able to park outside the Saint Paul de Maisole hospital for free (as the car parking opposite is expensive).

A good set of Roman ruins with a nice visitors' center. Not as spectacular as others you can find, but still very interesting. A nice add on to a visit to St. Remy.

Incredible place to come spend a couple of hours learning about the 3 civilizations that lived in the area 2000 years ago. Small paid parking lot or you can take a long walk from town. Starts off near the parking lot before you go into the paid area with the arch that you can see starts the road into the old town. Get tickets at the reception center/gifts shop and opens up to an awesome area of ruins. Take the trail to the left first and it will loop back. We got the handheld speaker to help explain a bit more and it was definitely worth the 3€ for our small group. However, there’s a lot of good info posted around the ruins in French, English, and Spanish if you don’t want to pay for the speaker. Make sure to hit the viewpoint at the end of the route that comes back down to the trail back to the start. Good for the kids, especially the ones with an interest in Roman history. There is also a little cafe inside the area and picnic area out front.

Loved our visit to Glanum. Visitor center is well maintained & staffed with knowledgeable people. We got the audio guide which explains everything you’ll see with clarity. Fascinating place, well worth the stop for a couple of hours.
