Van Gogh in Provence

Over half a day in an air-conditioned minibus, we propose a visit departing from Avignon, to visit the Provençal cities which had the honor of welcoming the famous painter Van Gogh between 1888 and 1889.

Between emblematic landscapes and places where he stayed, the painter’s life in Provence will no longer hold any mystery for you.

You will begin the outing with the city of Saint Remy de Provence

Photo stop in the heart of the most beautiful landscapes painted by Van Gogh, close to Saint Paul de Mausole, the hospital where the artist remained for several months.

Those who so desire may visit the cloister and discover a reproduction of Van Gogh's bedroom. (Entrance not included)

Then you head toward the village of Baux de Provence.

In the heart of the Alpilles, built on a rocky 245-meter high rocky spur, this charming village is classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France.

Through its “pedestrian only” historic center, you will be amazed by the Medieval remains.

The Museum of Santons, the « hôtel des Percales » and the  Church of Saint-Vincent are also to be discovered.

And you will end this outing with a visit to Arles.

A pedestrian circuit is offered to admire the not-to-be-missed sites painted by Van Gogh such as the “café de la nuit” or the “jardin de la maison de santé”.

You will also discover the rich Roman past of the old city of Arles, notably with its famous arenas and its antique theater. You will be accompanied by your driver-tour guide.

A roadbook will be given to you to indicate where and when to meet.
