St Remy Photo Expo Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis is a Must See

If you are in the Alpilles this summer, head to the centre of St Remy de Provence to Espace Hôtel de Lagoy. This elegant space was once a private mansion named in honor of its owner, Jean-Baptiste Florentin Gabriel Meyran de Lagoy (1764 -1829). The Marquis de Lagoy was a notable political figure and a collector of 18th-century drawings.
