We spent some time seeking out the points of reference that make up the Van Gogh (1853-1890) walking tour. He lived here between 1888-1889 and had lived in 'the yellow house' with fellow artist Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), which is one of his well known paintings. Sadly, the building was blown to smithereens during WWII and only a board detailing its existence can be found nearby. The highlights of the tour are the cafe from Cafe, le Soir, one of his better known works, which is now known as Cafe Van Gogh and where we took the opportunity to sit here and soak up the atmosphere; it really was like being in a painting, though it has changed since Van Gogh painted it. Standing on the steps by the water, which, once again, look somewhat different from the painting L'Escallier du pont du Trinquetaille, but are still recognisable, the old mill from Le Vieux Moulin, which, strangely enough, had no sign on it, the point where one of his versions of starry nights was painted and the Les Arènes at the Roman ampitheatre (90 AD). Perhaps the most memorable of all the sites was L' Espace van Gogh, which has been kept incredibly well and close to how it appears in the Le Jardin de la Maison de Santé, which, incidentally, is the place where he went to recuperate after injuring himself by cutting off part of one of his ears. Its yellow arches and charming central garden are delightful. Nowadays, they have Vincent-related gift shops here.
