In Vincent's Footsteps

One of the most remarkable things about being in Arles was the Van Gogh Trail and while we didn't follow the trail we came across many of the sights of our own walks...it was here that he painted 'Starry Night Over The Rhone'

The hospital garden where he was taken after slicing off his ear...

the trees along the avenue at Alyscamps...

the Summer Park...

The Yellow Cafe at night, now known as the Van Gogh Cafe...we had a Sunday lunch in their seating area in the Place du Forum and it was lovely...Kylie mentioned she has a copy of the painting in her home...I think Van Gogh's work reaches far and wide...most of the original paintings are in a Dutch Art Gallery...

Rue Mireille at the Old Mill...

This one is a bit sad because that yellow house where he boarded was destroyed by 'friendly fire' during WW2...

and home again, home again, jiggety jog!

Yesterday I came across this wonderful short film of all the places we visited, a lot of it taken by a drone which also shows the magnificence of the Abbeye de Montmajour which our photos from the ground can never re-capture...
