Description:
Barely 30 minutes away from the bustling city of lights, the quaint village Auvers-sur-Oise is tucked away between the river Oise and a chain of rugged cliffs. During la belle époque, Auvers-sur-Oise was home to many painters such as Cézanne, Daubigny and Pissarro and today mostly famous for being the resting place of Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo.
Immerse yourself in the life and legacy of this extraordinary artist and visit Van Gogh's burial place, located in the cemetery on a hilltop in the village.
Another highlight of the tour is s visit to the Château d'Auvers, built in the 17th century and immortalized by Van Gogh in his paintings. Join an immersive, multimedia experience, that shows what inspired Impressionism and takes you back to the era of the famous painters at the end of the 19th century.
Please note: From June to October 2023, the Chateau d'Auvers will be closed in preparation for an upcoming exposition of Van Gogh. During this period, you will alternatively visit the inn "Auberge Ravoux", where Van Gogh spent the last 70 days of his life, producing almost a painting each day.
