Arles, Les Baux & St. Remy - Van Gogh’s inspirations
Janie_C, Dec 2024
The 3 places visited where Van Gogh spent time were all different and interesting in their own ways. The guided tour of Arles was informative and we even got a photo of my Van Gogh tote bag in front of the cafe that had inspired the painting on the bag. Les Baux de Provence was a picturesque hilltop city in existence many centuries ago and again very picturesque. The hospital in St. Remy where Van Gogh spent several years toward the end of his life had been serving patients with mental disorders since the 1000’s - impressive. His view from his room of the ever-changing garden inspired some of his paintings. Our guide, Natalia, gave us a lot of information as we drove from place to place and during the guided tour of Arles.
Felt rushed

First, we appreciate that even though 3 people signed up, the tour was not cancelled.
It was great to visit Arles and St Remy. The towns were interesting and we loved learning about VanGogh’s connection to each. But we felt very rushed. With no real time to look around. We felt our guide was very concerned about getting back for her afternoon wine tour.
If time is so tight for a morning and afternoon tour for the same guide, I suggest you either start earlier for the first tour or split it out differently between guides.
Gordana is a well-informed tour guide who has such great energy!
Raul_L, Dec 2024
Gordana did an excellent job giving us just enough information on Van Gogh and how he spent his time in Provence. She took us on a walking tour of Arles and showed us a number of places that were subjects of his masterpieces. I wish we had more time to explore Arles, but the time that we spent there was just right for a half-day tour. Gordana then gave us some time to explore Les Baux-de-Provence. Finally, she drove us through the Saint-Paul Asylum before she guided us on a walking tour of St. Remy-de-Provence.
Due to the tour being only for half a day, you do not get a lot of time to take each location in and appreciate the places that inspired Van Gogh. However, Gordana does a good job of managing the time, so that you see as many things as possible without feeling too rushed.
Gordana has a great personality. She keeps things light and fun. We did two different tours with her, and we feel lucky that we had her as our guide.
Sites of inspiration
Kristine_H, Dec 2024
We enjoyed the tour despite cold and rainy weather. I most enjoyed visiting the mental health sanitarium where Van Gogh committed himself for a year. It was interesting to see the sites that inspired his paintings.
A lovely morning with lovely Anne.
MaryElizabeth_B, Dec 2024
Wonderful morning with lovely Anne. Knowledgeable and engaging. We so enjoyed our tour and learning about both Van Gogh and Provence. Merci beaucoup!
