Vincent Van Gogh stayed in Saint Remy from May 8th 1889 till May 16th 1890. He then left for Northern France Auvers sur Oise where he unfortunatelly died on July 29th 1890 (will we ever know whether he comitted suicide or was killed by a couple of teenagers, the suspens is still hanging...)
All the Van Gogh Europe partners (click her to learn more) have compiled a comprehensive program covering all regions whereVincent Van Gogh lived.
Here is the Saint Remy program
In Saint Remy, the new digital route (available in English) is soon to be launched and I was attending the conference which took place Friday last, with details on what to expect....
The new digital route will enable you to add your eyes in Van Gogh's famous Saint Remy portrait and will also take you in Van Gogh's painting.....
The "physical route" is also to be "rearranged" and modernised so that you get to know more about Van Gogh and its works during this fruitfull year in Saint Remy.
