Auvers-sur-Oise or following Van Gogh's final footsteps


Paris is surrounded by beautiful villages, full of charm and color. So, a day trip from Paris would be nice in case of revisiting the city, in order to alternate city strolling with discovering small villages. 

Among these picturesque gems, Auvers-sur-Oise is the obvious choice if you are also an art lover and especially a fan of Van Gogh's works. Visiting the village by foot allows you to discover places painted by Van Gogh during his short and final stay in Auvers-sur-Oise.


In fact, the village's narrow streets have Vincent's name encrypted.


The village is also the place where Van Gogh died and was buried, alongside his brother, Theo.



You can read more about Van Gogh's final days in Auvers-sur-Oire here: http://www.vangoghroute.com/france/auvers-sur-oise/

Since you are in Auvers-sur-Oise, you could try the wonderful cakes from the pastry in the middle of the village:



As for good lunch options, I highly recommend Le Relais des Peintres Restaurant (http://www.relaisdespeintres.fr/). No wonder the place has such good reviews on TripAdvisor.
