About this experience

As dawn breaks over Auvers-sur-Oise, the landscape transforms into the vibrant scene that captivated Van Gogh in his final days. Stroll through this timeless French village and feel the master's spirit in every corner. Start at the humble room where he spent his last moments, then follow his gaze across the golden wheat fields he painted with fervent brushstrokes.

Time is fleeting, just like Van Gogh's 70 prolific days here, producing artwork soaked in raw emotion. The iconic church still stands under the dramatic sky he immortalized, and the town cemetery quietly cradles his simple grave beside his beloved brother Theo, a poignant reminder of ephemeral genius.

Don't let this chance slip awayexperience this pilgrimage before these sacred spaces change. Walk where greatness walked, see through the eyes of genius, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Auvers before it's gone.
