Hiking Adventure in Van Gogh’s Footsteps (7.5 miles walk)

Do you know that just 40mn train ride from Paris, you can be totally immersed in the Nature ? During your stay in Paris, how about doing something different and taking a hike in the most scenic countryside. This experience, in small group of less than 10, brings you in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh, the famous Dutch painter, from Pontoise to Meriel via Auvers sur Oise. He painted several famous art pieces in Auvers sur Oise (80 to be exact). He died in 1890 and was buried in the village along with his brother Theo. Our walk will also take you through the city of Pontoise, the countryside of the Vexin , in the quaint village of Auvers sur Oise and along the Oise river until the village of Meriel, where we take our train back to Paris. PLEASE BE ADVISED that this is a 7.5 miles HIKE with some hills. You need to be fit enough if you want to enjoy the walk. That means you should be able to walk at least 5km at a GOOD pace and without rest. Please note that the tour lasts 5 hours.

We start our walk from this town along the river Oise toward the village of Auvers sur Oise

On our way to enter the village of Auvers sur Oise, we take the lunch break in the castle's jardin à la francaise. The museum is not included in the trip.

This is the village in which Vincent Van Gogh spent the last 70 days of his life. I will guide you through the village and show you some of the locations where he did some of his paintings. You get to see also the house where he stayed and died.

This is the church from one of the most famous painting Van Gogh did and that you can see in the Orsay Museum in Paris.

This is the last home of Vincent Van Gogh
