🇫🇷 Provence Summer Guide: Falling Madly in Love with Van Gogh's Arle

Looking back at my photos, I'm instantly transported to June in this dreamy Van Gogh town—heart racing like a summer romance! 💛 The blazing sun paints the white stone walls in soothing muted tones, just as 37-year-old Van Gogh experienced his final creative burst in this living canvas of a town. Follow in Van Gogh's footsteps to feel Arles' passion and poetry. Here's your curated itinerary: 🌻 Van Gogh Trail Must-Sees 1️⃣ Fondation Vincent Van Gogh Arles (aka Nicole Eisenman and the Moderns) Start here! Park nearby, explore early (it closes by 6PM), and grab the "Van Gogh’s Footprint" map to begin your walk. 📍 Google These Spots: Pont Van Gogh (the iconic bridge he painted 9x!) L’espace Van Gogh (The Garden of the Hospital in Arles) Le Café Van Gogh (Café Terrace at Night—now a souvenir shop) Rhône Riverbank (Starry Night Over the Rhône) The Church at Auvers (a short drive away) 🌻🌻🌻 Golden Hour Magic Race sunset to find sunflower fields (Van Gogh’s obsession)! Try Clos de Bastony first—if harvested, cruise Route D15 for endless golden blooms. Pull over and soak in the glory! Pro Tip: Pack a picnic, a wide-brimmed hat, and your Starry Night enthusiasm. Wishing you a day as vivid as Van Gogh’s palette! ❤️🔥 #Provence #VanGogh #SunflowerFields #Arles #FranceTravel
