Site Archéologique de Glanum

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.

It's probably the best Greek/ Roman ruins we've visited outside of Greece. It was pretty quiet in February, which was perfect. The paper guide is very good. We didn't get the audio guide, but they sold an expanded guide, which we picked up.

Easy access and plenty of nearby parking, there is a short walk to the ticket office and gift shop. There is a restaurant ready to take your order and provide an amazing picnic. Don't forget to bring your blanket this place is very relaxing with exceptional breezes and plenty of sun.

We enjoyed visiting this ancient site and eating lunch in the cafe there.

A must visit and recommend getting the audio guide. The findings and size of the site are high quality - just walking through, along the Main Street gives you a sense of how it must have been.. Lots of further information available in the shop. The treasures are stored in the Hotel Sade - which was closed for winter when we were here - would loved to have seen that!

Definitely worth a visit. This site is quite big and with so many things to see. There are short trails around the site, too, for a panorama view of the site. Visitor center's information and an audio guide is all you need to understand the history here.

It may be a great start of a visit of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. There is an ancient town built even before the Rome empire came. Lots of buildings remain in a good state. You can see how everyday life of the town war organised. If you’re interested in archeology you’ll be excited as there are many activities related to it. So you can even give it a try. For kids there’re some performances and many books on a shop to tell in a simple way why archeology is important and what’s needed to become an archeologist. For sure it’s an amazing place for those who like history and the Roman period. Highly recommend visiting. It’s a rare case when an ancient city has been conserved so well.

really good day out but more aimed at french speakers
