Description:

Discover the places where Vincent Vag Gogh once lived and worked. Recognize the avenues and fields displayed in his paintings with that iconic, intense yellow. Explore Arles and Les Baux-de-Provence to learn more about this post-Impressionist painter.

During his stay in Provence, Van Gogh painted some of his most famous masterpieces. Stop at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and explore the charming landscape around the hospital where he stayed in 1889. The olive trees and mountains beyond are wonderfully evocative.

Continue to Les Baux-de-Provence, a small town atop a rocky outcrop. Follow your guide through its historic center and pass by the Museum of Santons, St. Vincent Church, and charming Romanesque-style buildings.

Your next stop is Arles. See the sites of Van Gogh's key paintings, including The Yellow House and Café Terrace at Night. As you stroll through narrow twisting streets, marvel at the Roman amphitheater and the 12th-century Church of St. Trophime, with its sculpted Romanesque portico representing the apocalypse.
