Vincent Van Gogh’s stay in Arles was a period of feverish activity. Between his arrival in 1888 and his departure 15 months later to the asylum in St. Rémy, he completed 300 paintings. Fans will find a number of his works come to life here. Throughout Arles, historic markers – including a picture of the relevant painting – are placed at the exact spot where Van Gogh is likely to have set up his easel. The trail includes Night Café, Starry Night, The Old Mill in the Rue Mireille, the Trinquetaille Bridge from Roquette Quay, The Langlois Bridge, The Yellow House, The Arena, The Sanitorium Garden, Les Alyscamps also painted by Gauguin and many others.

Guided tours in French, following in the artist’s footsteps, leave from the Tourist Office on Boulevard des Lices every Tuesday at 5 pm. The price is €4, children under 12 go free.
