With Nan's illness, we only made one outing this day to St-Remy-de-Provence. This little town is known as the birthplace of Nostradamus (1503) and a home to VanGogh (1889) when he was cared for by nuns in a psychiatric asylum. Our favourite part of St-Remy was a beautiful square surrounded by old buildings where there were benches to sit and relax. We saw a lot of beautiful little scenes that will make great sources for Nan's watercolours in the future.

You'll see a picture of the store where we bought sea salt for Curtis' parents and some specialty salt for ourselves. We also visited the Van Gogh gift shop in the Hotel d'Estrine where the art centre is housed in the 18th-century building.
