In the footsteps of Van Gogh
A cultural trip from your hotel near Arles
In all seasons, follow a marked route in the footsteps of the artist.
Vincent Van Gogh spent 16 months in the Arles region between February 1888 and May 1889. During this stay, he produced no less than 300 drawings and paintings. The unique light offered by the region, but also the lights of the night, inspired the artist to set up his easel in the city and on the quays.
A dozen places have been identified, creating an ideal route to discover Arles.
It is impossible to miss the Place du Forum for Le café le soir, the Trinquetaille bridge for L'escalier du pont de Trinquetaille, the Quai du Rhône for La nuit étoilée sur le Rhône, or the Place Lamartine for La maison jaune.
Continue your visit with the Van Gogh Foundation, which pays tribute to his work and opens a dialogue with contemporary art.
The full description of the tour can be found at the Arles Tourist Office.
