Glanum
Site archéologique de Glanum
An ancient site just south of Saint-Rémy, tracing the town's history from Gallic times through the Roman period. The triumphal arch and mausoleum outside the walls are among the best-preserved Roman monuments in France.
Glanum began as a sacred spring settlement of the Gallic Salyes tribe. It later grew into a Hellenistic and then Roman town and was abandoned in the 3rd century. The ruins stretch along the valley and include temples, a forum, baths, houses, and the sacred spring. Across the road, the monuments known as Les Antiques include a triumphal arch from around 20 BC and the 18-meter-high Mausoleum of the Julii. Entry to the Antiques is free. Admission to the archaeological site costs about €8. Hours are roughly 9:30 to 18:30, with the site closed on Mondays in winter and shorter hours during that season. It's about 1.5 km from the center of Saint-Rémy, next to Saint-Paul-de-Mausole.
