Interesting video, and please don’t forget his brother Theo Van Gogh, who supported Vincent all his life, financially, practically and mentally. Plus his wife Johanna Bonger who after the death of the brothers was instrumental in making Vincent’s work famous.
I made this same visit to Auvers in September of 2018 and was at every place you showed in your video. Very well video taped and narrated. Thank you for putting this all together for some fine memories. I lived there for the whole month of September, 2018 and it was an experience I was fortunate enough to have.
Thank you, Shalinee, for this video. I am from Auvers and it is pleasant to see views from my home town. In fact, it is no longer 'a small village' by French standards. If you return there, you could also visit 'le musée de l'impressionnisme' in 'le château d'Auvers' et 'le musée de l'absynthe' and 'le musée dAubigny'. 'La Mairie d'Auvers' (the town hall) was also painted by Van Gogh, you can't miss it if you take the main road, it is right opposite 'L'auberge Ravoux' where Van Gogh used to stay. The primary school nearby on the other side of the road is very picturesque too. To find a bit of shade, you might also stroll along the river bank. You'll get information about other things you could do by paying a visit to 'l'Office du Tourisme'. I wish you all the best.
Hello Paul, thank you for your comment and the many tips on other interesting things to watch out for in Auvers-sur-Oise ! I love walking by the river side, I love the 'train' converted to a library, and the little papeterie/librairie above the Antiquités shop opposite the Mairie. Indeed, Auvers-sur-Oise has many attractions and certainly isn't a 'small village' in French standards, thank you for highlighting it!
This was the best thing to the real tour. Thank you for sharing and taking us with you. You’re a very good story teller, your voice is relaxing. And thank you camera man and your little man as well, I saw glimpses of him in video. What a place, what an artist. It must had been an amazing feeling being there and walked the very steps he did about 132 yrs ago.
It feels so great to read your comment, thank you! This village makes a commendable effort to retain that essence of the time Van Gogh lived here. It's an amazing place!
Hi Ema, your beautiful comment on my latest video, the mental institution, I am so sorry I took so long to reply! I don't see the comment now, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts! :) It is definitely a video to unhinge everyone! :D
@@ShalineeinFrance Lol, I thought I used the word “sexy 😆” in there was inappropriate and you might not like it for your channel, so I deleted it, haha. I joke a lot and very sarcastic so I have to be careful with my words. Haha, the “Loofah” ...some fish was so funny 😂, your husband teased you. You must have lots of laughters in your home. Glad to see you and husband venture out to different things but be careful, so scary Shalinee. Bring husband with you and a stick or pepper spray, you’ll be ok 😜
@@emaw3420 No, I really loved what you said about mushrooms and sexy! 😂🤩👍🏽 Yes you are very right, we do have to be careful when stepping into old places!
Beautiful! I would also like to visit Arles. Since I saw the movie at eternity's gate, I learnt more about Van Gogh beyond the starry night painting. He has had such tough life. So sad that the revolver he used to kill himself was auctioned for such a high price! But when he was alive no one took notice of his immense talent. I guess that's how life treats some people. Bad karma may be?
Yes, that was the most tragic thing about his story, that his art was considered worthless, when in reality, his art was way ahead of the times! Thanks for your comment dear Madhura, so glad you enjoyed this! xx
Loved the video, It was so informative. I have always been intrigued with the Van Gogh's life and art but never knew his last place was so close to where i live. I cannot wait to see this place.
Shalinee, this is going to be one of my most treasured videos! Have been an ardent admirer of Van Gogh’s paintings and really feel sad that he never lived to see the world acclaim he earned. He was difficult to understand as his creative mind far exceeded the normal. Have also read his letters to his brother Theo , his Starry Nights is my favourite & reveals new insights each time I view it. Thanks a ton for this virtual tour of the quaint village and his final resting place . Look forward to watch more of these lesser known tourist delights!😊
It's the same for me as well, every time I visit this village, I feel I learnt one more astonishing fact in his life. So happy that you enjoyed this video, Shree! I particularly love the drive on the narrow roads with trees looking in front of you (latter part of the video). Loved your comment, have a lovely day ! 🙏💗
I've always wanted to visit France and hope to do so sometime in my life. Especially around Vichy for its flower fields! As a history buff, I loved the very interesting information you've shared in this video. Subscribed and looking forward to watching all your videos for a quarantine tour of France!
So glad that you enjoyed it Lajo! I have lived in France for 10 years and its my pleasure to show my favourite spots around! Hope that you would like some of the French recipes I have loved too! :)
Beautiful place a nicely filmed 👌 very informative video. Your channel has the content I like, subscribed to see more of your informative travelling videos. Keep posting, you are doing a great job ! 👍 All the best and greetings from Scotland 🙏 Petr
Dr S Gachet was a top hardcore jungle techno rave DJ back in the day. I never knew he was a homeopathic doctor in his spare time. How amazing that he treated Vincent Van Gogh. He must have been quite old when he mastered DJing as I don't think Technics decks had even been invented in Van Gogh's day, eh!
Sorry, I had forgotten to put this info on my video description (done it now!). The music is called Divine Life Society by Jesse Gallagher from RUclips Audio Library.
@@ShalineeinFrance We ate at the very restaurant Vincent had his meals and got to see his room above the restaurant. Then of course his last resting place.
@@wcronin7307 Fantastic! I hope you also got to view inside of the church and the wheat fields that he painted. The next time you are in France (or if you are still here), don't forget Giverny, to view Monet's gorgeous home!
Van Gogh didn't kill himself !! Please change it. He was a great man. However, his life was hard. If you are interested in Vincent's life, read the book by Van Gogh S. Naifeh; G.W. Smith. But please don't make from him suicide.
@@ShalineeinFrance it also seems to me that by what kind of man he was perceived as, no one was interested in proving the truth. He was also a man of low social status. He was perceived as a weirdo.
Controversy of Naifeh and Smith biography Wikipedia After reading this biography and looking through available articles etc. on the Internet, I also come to these conclusions. His suicide fueled the machine of fame he had achieved. There were times when medicine was not so developed. And that he was an outsider and a rather disgusting man. This thrilling biography is worth reading.
Comment: Nice video. The music in the background, the young lady doing the speaking, on the Painter, etc., is just fantastic. 2024

I was remembering the walk in the fields in that scorching july sun. But its one of my favorite place. Very well made
The summer of that year was hotter than this summer! Maybe it's better this way, partly sunny and hot and partly cloudy and cool!

Thank you for this! Would love to visit one day, because I find Van Gogh’s art so inspiring. He was a complex man, but at the same time brilliant.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing
