In the Footsteps of Vincent van Gogh in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
Vincent van Gogh left a profound mark on the history of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. After his stay in Arles, he was admitted in May 1889 to the former monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, where he remained for nearly a year.
During this period, he created more than 150 paintings and drawings inspired by the landscapes of the Alpilles, the olive groves and the fields surrounding Saint-Rémy. This year is now considered one of the most important periods of his artistic career.
Among the major works created during his stay are:

Today, visitors can follow the Van Gogh Trail, a route that allows them to discover several places that inspired the artist, as well as reproductions of his paintings displayed directly where they were created.
