Taxi Marseille — Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
In Van Gogh's footsteps at the foot of the Alpilles
A taxi between Marseille and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence costs between €165 and €200 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 85 kilometres and a journey time of from 65 to 85 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A7 then exit Cavaillon or Saint-Rémy, with ~€7 in tolls (A7 section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €260. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is one of Provence's most charming villages, nestled at the foot of the limestone Alpilles range. It was here that Vincent van Gogh stayed at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum from May 1889 to May 1890, a period during which he painted 150 canvases including 'The Starry Night' and 'Irises'. The village also houses the archaeological site of Glanum, a remarkably preserved Gallo-Roman city with its triumphal arch and the Mausoleum of the Julii. The centre of Saint-Rémy, with its plane tree-shaded squares, fountains and markets, embodies the Provençal art of living. Nostradamus was born here in 1503. The surrounding Alpilles offer spectacular hikes among garrigue and olive groves.
