The National Gallery in London has recently unveiled an exhibition focused on Vincent van Gogh's time spent in the French city of Arles. In 1888, the artist was deeply inspired by the landscapes, light, and particularly the vivid yellow tones that became defining elements in his works. This exhibition, which will run until January 2025, celebrates how Arles influenced Van Gogh's artistic style and is part of the gallery's 200th anniversary celebration.

Today, travelers can visit the iconic locations that inspired Van Gogh, such as the famous Yellow House and the Montmajour Abbey, situated near Arles. In the neighboring town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh was treated, visitors can explore the landscapes that featured prominently in his paintings. These sites offer invaluable insight into the artist's creative development and his connection to Provence.

In Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, tourists have the opportunity to explore attractions beyond Van Gogh's legacy. Among these is the ancient Roman site of Glanum, which dates back to the 6th century BC, offering a unique perspective on the region's history. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the lively local market, which sells a variety of Provençal products and souvenirs.

Aside from historical landmarks, Saint-Rémy hosts local festivals and events dedicated to Provençal traditions. The market is an excellent opportunity to purchase local goods such as spices, olive products, and ceramics, giving an authentic glimpse into the region's culture. Visitors can also enjoy a stroll through the town and immerse themselves in its rich atmosphere.

Overall, the exhibition and tourist routes emphasize the profound influence of Provence on Van Gogh's work while offering visitors a chance to experience the beauty of these landscapes. Travelers to Arles and Saint-Rémy will have the unique opportunity to delve into the world that inspired one of history's greatest artists. These trips may serve as a source of inspiration for modern-day art enthusiasts.
