First artistic site in Auvers, created in 1860 by C.F Daubigny, La Maison-Atelier de Daubigny welcomes you. In the house you will discover several paintings by Daubigny, Corot, Daumier, Oudinot ... They cover almost 200 sq. meters of the walls, and the ensemble, still in very good condition, was very slightly restored by Daubigny's descendants during the meticulous site restoration, from 1983 to 1990. Daubigny's Studio House and its garden were classified as Historical Monuments in 1993 and obtained the prestigious "House of famous" label in 2014, delivered by the French Ministry of Culture. According to its visitors, this is the most genuine site in Auvers-sur-Oise

2. Step into the innermost world of Van Gogh In the attic of the Ravoux Inn, a single skylight lets a few rays of sunshine into the room N° 5 where Vincent lived and died. Out of sheer superstition, this garret referred to as the “suicide room” was never rented out again since 1890. In this well-preserved site, there is nothing to see... but in his empty room, you can relate and bond with the painter’s psyche. To fully take in the experience, you may wish to consider visiting this enclave of silence on a weekday. You will grasp the sentiment of one of our visitors, who thanked us for “transforming the glory of Van Gogh into an intimate experience.”

The Maison van Gogh is essentially an emotional space. It does not promise razzle dazzle or activity. It promises quiet and solitude and a chance to reflect on the life, work and sad ending of arguably the most popular artist in the history of the world. There are precedents here. In Amsterdam, Anne Frank's house offers the same. It is a place that carries far more significance than its physical self. Coupled with the empty room of Vincent where the visitor can fill it with feeling, are the other aspects of the Maison Van Gogh and the town itself. There is ample emotional and historical intelligence in the slide show and the posters. There is guidance to the other sites like the in situ paintings sprinkled around town using the passport booklet that serves as the entrance ticket. There is the life of Vincent in huge placards in the lawn alongside the Auberge. There is the lovely walk to the cemetery to see the modest graves of Theo and Vincent side-by-side forever as they were in life. Auvers is a working French village where you can find everything that makes that special--the butcher, the bakery, the tiny post office , the quaint town hall. It is so much more interesting to stroll its streets for a look at authentic French life than to struggle through the shopping and eating frenzy that Giverny has become. Auvers invites you to slow down. To savor. To reflect. Perhaps you can even have a wonderful, leisurely meal in the same cafe that nourished Vincent. Bon Appétit
