Very worthwhile to visit. Van Gogh walk is overrated. I'd skip esp in this heat. But this monastery/asylum was very much worth it. It's crazy to walk through spaces once occupied by him. He stayed here for a year. There is no original artwork here or at the museum in saint Remy. But visiting the museum before was very helpful in keeping us informed. Also, at the museum they give you a coupon type thing that gives you €3 off at the entrance here. Do it.

Very enjoyable,I arrived early to escape the heat (mid summer) and was pleasantly surprised that there were just a handful of other tourists,so very peaceful, particularly when I had Vincent's room to myself.I'll let the photos do the talking..

Great place to visit, not only if you appreciate Van Gogh! Very peaceful and charming backyard. You can visit Van Gogh's room. I just think they should have tried to keep the landscape more similar to what it was by the time he lived there. The view from his room has nothing to do with his gorgeous paintings anymore.

Visit the asylum where Van Gogh lived for a year and painted such peices of art, Starry Night. The building is beautifully kept as is the courtyard and gardens. Information of the paintings he completed whilst staying at the asylum were scattered throughout the walk. Ypu get to go inside Van Goghs actual bedroom and look down at the beautiful gardens, where he got his inspiratiom. We paid 7€ per adult, under 12 was free. Parking is directly outside the building so very handy! A lovely shop inside where you can purchase books, prints, stationary etc for very reasonable prices. We went in Feb and it was very quite. We only stumbled across another couple so if you want to miss the crowds go in the winter months.
