Saint-Paul de Mausole Monastery – Van Gogh’s Provençal Home
A highlight of the visit is the Saint-Paul de Mausole Monastery, boasting over a thousand years of history. Converted into a psychiatric hospital in 1807, it was here that Vincent Van Gogh lived and painted for about a year toward the end of his life. The serene atmosphere of the monastery is palpable, with the walls echoing the artist’s struggles and brilliance.
