Maison de van Gogh

About

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.”
