Provence Van Gogh Tour

Follow in the footsteps of the famous Dutch artist and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence with this Provence Van Gogh Tour. A unique route for lovers of expressionism!

Description

"I dream my painting and paint my dream." To discover more about Van Gogh's time in Provence, we'll meet at 41 Cours Jean Jaurès at the indicated time.

The first item of the day will be a photo stop in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh painted 'The Starry Night' in his sanatorium. We will visit the recreation of Van Gogh's old room.

Next, we will head to Arles, where the artist lived from 1888. Upon arrival, we will take a walking tour of its historic center and see the symbolic Café Van Gogh, featured in 'Café Terrace at Night'. We will also walk along the Arenes de Arles: a well-preserved Roman amphitheater in southern France.

You will then have 30 minutes of free time. On Saturdays, you can visit the popular weekly market in Arles. Finally, the tour will conclude with a return to Avignon, arriving back after 6.5 hours of exploring.
