Van Gogh day - Auvers-sur-Oise

 

Yesterday the group travelled out of Paris to where Van Gogh lived.

We took two trains, and ended up at Auvers-sur-Oise, a lovely quiet country town, location to many of his paintings.

 

We began with a picnic (I bought a quiche and chocolate croissant - yum), then went on a walk around the area. There were some children in the park painting, which was pretty cute.

 

 

Unfortunately, Van Gogh's old room, that you can visit, was closed so we were unable to see it.

We did however see some of the streets, a church, and wheat fields that he painted, as well as visiting the two graves (Vincent and his brother Theo).

 I made Jacinta a love-heart leaf!

 

 And Jacinta snapped this moment of Steph and I dozing (so tired).

It was a really beautiful day, and I was so glad to get into the fresh country.

I would love to really explore the country areas of Europe.

Particularly Scotland and Ireland and Italy. One day hopefully I can do an entire trip out in these types of areas and small towns.
