Walking kilometers today, we have visited the Monastere St Paul de Mausole where Vincent van Gogh was taken in, after the episode where he cut off his ear. We enjoyed the walking tour through the village and countryside that inspired Vincent, following the 19 panels displaying reproductions painted by the artist during his stay in St Remy. It was very sad reading how patients such as Vincent were treated for ailments such as depression and bipolar in the 1800’s. After leaving the hospital, we made our way back to St Remy for lunch before visiting St Martin’s church built in the 11th century. ( Note song : Don McLean….Starry Starry Night )
