Some advice for the public
It is strongly advised to park outside the old town center, in the outlying parking lots and garages. Parking is prohibited that day in the town center to allow for the passing of the sheep. (cars will be towed away).

Otherwise, it is a good idea to arrive in Saint Rémy de Provence around 9am and by 10am find a spot on the boulevard that circles the old town, in particular to the north of the town, towards the Gendarmerie and the Café des Arènes where there is more space.

The herd of 3000 sheep goes twice around the old town, starting a 10:30am.
