Follow the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh on an inspiring journey through Provence, where light and color shaped some of his greatest masterpieces. From your place of stay, enjoy a scenic drive to Arles, a city that deeply influenced his artistic vision. Here, Van Gogh created nearly 300 paintings and drawings, capturing everyday life and luminous landscapes that still define the spirit of southern France.
In Arles, stand before the famous Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, immortalized in his 1888 painting, and walk to the Rhône riverbanks that inspired Starry Night Over the Rhône. Discover the site of the Yellow House, where he lived and worked alongside Paul Gauguin, and visit the former Hôtel-Dieu hospital, depicted in Garden of the Hospital in Arles. Marked panels throughout the city reveal the exact viewpoints where he set up his easel.
Continue to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh voluntarily entered the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum. Surrounded by olive groves and the Alpilles hills, he painted some of his most powerful works, including Irises and expressive self-portraits. The peaceful landscapes and Roman remains of nearby Glanum echo the timeless scenery that fueled his creativity during this intense period.
If time allows, explore the hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence, whose dramatic setting and stone architecture capture the essence of Provence. This artistic journey offers a moving immersion into Van Gogh’s world, revealing how profoundly the region’s light, colors and landscapes shaped his legacy.
