Ten spots have been thus indicated : The Place du Forum for the "Evening Café", the Trinquetaille bridge for the "Staircase of the Trinquetaille bridge", the Rhone River quay for the "Starry Night", the Place Lamartine for the "Yellow House", the Rue Mireille for the "Old Mill", the Summer Garden on the Boulevard des Lices for the "Public Garden", the Espace Van Gogh for the "Hospital Garden", the road along the Arles à Bouc canal for the "Langlois bridge with washerwomen". The Arena and the Alyscamps were also depicted in several paintings.

  • The Van Gogh Foundation
    The foundation is operated by the association for the creation of La fondation Van Gogh.
    Van Gogh wanted to create a “studio in the South” where he and other painters could live together. The foundation attempts to follow in his footsteps by creating a gallery-studio where contemporary artists can express their homage to Van Gogh.
