Hotel le Saint Laurent

This is an exceptional place, perfectly situated for traveling to the south of France - The Artist's Triangle, as I like to call it: Aix-en-Provence (Cezanne) 1hr 16minutes by car; Arles (Van Gogh) 50 minutes by car; and Saint-Remy (also Van Gogh) 43 minutes by car. Additionally, Avignon is 20 minutes. Pont du Gard is 30 minutes. Lyon is a little over two hours. This lovely stone edifice is owned and run by a bubbly (young) French lady who answers to the name, Vinni. The room we had was large by French standards (for mid-priced hotels.) Large balcony overlooking the high, ancient walls of the castle and the hotel courtyard below. And a comfortable sitting room where the TV and refrigerator, are located, with a long, red couch against the front wall. The shower and sink are in a separate closet as is the toilet. Up two steps and you are in the bedroom with a floor-to-ceiling double window overlooking the main courtyard. Sip a local red wine on the balcony while listening to the birds chirping to the setting sun. Comfortable, oversize bed, with multiple pillows. In the morning, come down to a lovely breakfast and Café au lait, in the barrel-ceiling, stone breakfast area. Parking on site around the hotel. Small cars have an advantage. Then get ready to go. Vinni has a helpful selection of brochures and maps. There is a large supermarket just off the round about and the highway entrance and exit are just minutes away. through the local vineyards. Try the pizza at the local pizzeria. It's very good. And say hello to the black and white chatte sitting across the way on the windowsill. We'd certainly return on our next trip to France. Hope you enjoy your stay.
