Van Gogh in Saint Rémy de Provence

(Video filmed on site in October 2021).
Let's follow in the steps of Vincent Van Gogh, who lived in Saint Rémy de Provence for a year in the 1880s.
Coming from a tumultuous stay in Arles, the artist checked himself into the hospital Saint Vincent de Mausole. He spent a year there.
From his room in the building, Van Gogh created over 150 pieces, including some of his most recognized ones, before moving on to Paris. At Saint Paul de Mausole, the artist was surrounded by the Provençal scenery that inspired so much of his work.
Since the 11th century, Saint Paul de Mausole has hosted several monasteries where those suffering from mental illness could seek treatment.
In 2021, Saint Paul de Mausole is an original site that combines a cultural center and psychiatric facilities.
I ran two public virtual tours in the vicinity, in Saint Rémy de Provence and the antique site of Glanum, across the street from Saint Paul de Mausole.

Magnificent video. So interesting. A very nice place. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊

[@susanneking2524]

We did this very walk in May of 2022 and loved it, St. Remy is a special place and this museum is amazing.

[@danyelmoulden3803]

Merci encore, Vero. What a lovely way to wake up and enjoy mon cafe ce matin. Merci mon amie !❤❤

[@cindygreif3077]

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you! 🌻

[@susanstafford3781]

Thank you for a return to this beautiful place. The lavender was in bloom when I was there in late June 2014. So very lovely. Nearby Glanum is definitely worth a visit.

[@kathyalexander4155]

We visited St. Remy on our very first trip to France many years ago. Vero, you have expanded our horizons and enriched our lives. Thank you!

[@francewithvero]

Thank you Kathy.

How special - Merci, Véro!

[@juneparham4028]

Merci Vero for the tour. I visited this site and Glanum after I attended l'Insitut de Francais in Villefranche sur Mer a number of years ago. I must visit again as it is so beautiful. St Remy is a lovely town.

Salut Vero, thanks for a great video. I was in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence about a year ago, this brought back some marvelous memories. Like you, I walked the road in the heat, luckily it wasn't too far. 🙂

A hint of sadness but also very beautiful. Thank you for sharing and for your research too.

Avec plaisir Patty.

Bonjour, Véro! Merci pour ce jolie cadeau. I felt like I was there, indeed. On my ever-growing list, thanks to you. What a beautiful visit.

[@francewithvero]

Happy you enjoyed our stroll outside Saint Rémy Cathy.

[@kathryngordon1037]

Thank you for sharing this again. I missed this when you first posted it.❤

[@francewithvero]

This was a video I filmed for France with Vero patrons at the time. I only released it publicly today.

[@karenlewis5937]

I’m so grateful to experience this. A girlfriend and I spent 2 nights in St Remy but at the time we didn’t know what it had to offer. I was so disappointed when I realized we had missed this so thank you!

[@francewithvero]

Then it was all worth it :-)

[@cindybridgmancreates9856]

As an artist, this means so much to me, Véro. Merci beaucoup! I’ve read many of his letters…so poignant…and attempted a painting with his color palette and style. He keeps appearing in my artistic life, as he did today with you, and I am grateful. What a wonderful gift. Thank you again. 🎨💛🎨

[@francewithvero]

Very happy to read your message Cindy :-)

[@christopherTYJ]

Are you sure that's Vincent? Looks a lot like Kirk Douglas... 😊 Merci for another great video.

[@robertmcdonald8494]

I so enjoyed this tour. Not only are you a wonderful instructor of the places we visit, but you are a wonderful videographer as well! Thank you!!

[@francewithvero]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback Robert.
