The chapel of 'Notre-Dame' de Pitié bordering the square Gounod is a small, fifteenth-century building enlarged at the time of the plague in 1650, ( Michel de Nostredame  defeat the plague).


The chapel contains the Mario Prassinos foundation; a family legacy is on permanent display. The name of the square brings to mind the fact that it was in Saint - Remy  that Gounod composed his masterpiece ' Mireille ', on a libretto by Frederic Mistral.

 

On the right of the Chapel "Notre Dame de Pitie" is the 'Hotel du Soleil'. I enjoyed its romantic old settings, located in the old quarters of Saint-Remy, of Nostradamus' time in 1650.
