Painters' paths: In the footsteps of Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh arrived at Auvers-sur-Oise station on May 20, 1890, hoping to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city and find the soothing calm of the countryside. Not far from Paris, the village of Auvers offered him what he wanted while staying close to his brother Théo.

Without particular means, he stayed at the Auberge Ravoux for 3.50 francs per day in room no. 5, which remains intact and is now visitable (without furniture).

An outdoor painter, he wandered the village streets that inspired him so much for 70 days. In total he painted more than 70 canvases, a frenzied pace for an artist of such great talent.

On the way you can see:
