Provence on a Sunday
We will be in Provence, staying in St Remy, for several nights in September. Our last day will be on a Sunday. I remember reading that many of the villages and towns are practically closed down storewise on Sundays. Any suggestions on where to go or plan an itinerary for that day. We will have a car. Thank you.

No major tourist site/town is going to be entirely closed up on Sunday, not at all. St Remy is one of the most touristy towns in that area, don't worry about it. So is Gordes. Roussillon somewhat lesser, but of course it has the ochre, and you really don't go there to go shopping, anyway.

My wife has done a lot of shopping in St Remy & Gordes. So have our friends. Christina - I know you are not a shopper - but lot of other people are - especially "first timers". Lots of villages & cities look dreadful when shops are closed & louvered shutters and large steel bars are pulled across the pretty storefronts so that you can't see in. In some cities, these louvered shutters are covered with graffiti - not a pretty sight.
