A Village Turned into a Painting: Walking Through Van Gogh's Canvas – Auvers-sur-Oise

🎨 A Village Turned into a Painting: Walking Through Van Gogh's Canvas – Auvers-sur-Oise 📍 Auvers-sur-Oise, France "This village is entirely for painting." – Vincent van Gogh Just 70 days. Yet, in this village, Van Gogh spent the most immersive period of his life. Auvers-sur-Oise, where his final masterpieces were created, still preserves the landscapes depicted in his paintings. Ready to step into a canvas-like experience? Let’s begin! 🖼 Top 3 Van Gogh Painting Spots 1. Tree Roots (Racines d’arbres) – Van Gogh’s Final Brushstrokes 📍 Rue Daubigny, marked on the wall This painting is believed to be Van Gogh’s last work before his death. The abstract roots and the trembling essence of life captured in this scene remain marked and explained at the very spot where Van Gogh stood to paint. Tip: Hold a copy of the painting and compare it to the actual location. The view he saw at the end of his life is surprisingly small and quiet. 2. The Church at Auvers (Église d’Auvers-sur-Oise) – The Boundary of Light and Darkness 📍 Place de l'Église One of Van Gogh’s iconic works, *The Church at Auvers*, still stands tall in the heart of the village. At sunset, you can witness the deep shadows and reflections just as depicted in the painting. Tip: The church in the painting is slightly distorted. For the most similar angle, view it from the hill on the lower right side of the church’s front. 3. Wheatfield with Crows (Champ de blé aux corbeaux) – Where Anxiety and Freedom Intersect 📍 Wheatfield on the hill along Rue de la Vallée-aux-Loups "I saw the end in this vast field." The emotional depth of Van Gogh’s final days is vividly captured in this painting. The location remains a vast wheatfield to this day. Tip: While there are no crows, the irregular sky and the sound of the wind help you imagine the scene. A must-visit photo spot! 🗺 Visitor Information How to get there: Gare du Nord (Paris North Station) → Auvers-sur-Oise Station (direct train, about 1 hour) Recommended itinerary: Arrive at the station → Van Gogh’s Room (Auberge Ravoux) The Church at Auvers Wheatfield and Grave Tree Roots location 📝 One-liner Review "I walked through the landscapes born from his brushstrokes." 🔖 Hashtags #VanGoghLandscapes #VanGoghTrail #WheatfieldWithCrows #TheChurchAtAuvers #TreeRoots #DayTripFromParis
