Overview
Trade Paris for a 40-min train ride to the Vexin reserve. In a small group (6-7 max), hike 6 miles through Auvers-sur-Oise to explore the birth of Impressionism and the life of Vincent van Gogh.
Guided by a pro, discover what made Vincent unique: while early impressionists chased external light, Van Gogh painted raw, internal emotion with fierce color and thick strokes.
We'll walk in his exact footsteps along the Oise River and sweeping wheatfields, immersing ourselves in the poignant village where he spent the final, hyper-productive 70 days of his life, created over 70 masterpieces, and died. Return with a profound view of his tragic genius.
PLEASE NOTE: To ensure a fun and fulfilling experience for everyone, the route is designed for guests who can comfortably walk 10km (6 miles) at a moderate pace. This will allow us to fully appreciate the scenery, enjoy the experience together and keep up with the tour schedule.
