Twenty-six sites in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, France, where Vincent Van Gogh spent the final 30 months of his life. Several of the locations are not directly related to Vincent, but will also be of interest to people retracing the life of the Dutch artist who died by his own hand at age 37.
The information on this tour has been assembled on my website "Vincent Has Arrived", with large images of the paintings.

Thanks, everyone, for the "Christmas cheer". I'd gone back to look at the church in Auvers that was previously marked and started poking around and was quite surprised to find so little else posted, such as the asylum in Saint-Remy, and other markers "drifted" over time, such as the Yellow House in Arles.
So that became my winter project. I'm thrilled that it's gone over well.
