This garden is located inside a former psychiatric hospital where Vincent Van Gogh was treated. Every garden is a favorite of any woman and it becomes even more beautiful when she learns that this garden filled with tulips and other kinds colorful flowers was once where Vincent Van Gogh roamed and painted some of his beautiful paintings. My wife loved... More

Whether or not you are a Van Gogh fan, it is worthwhile to find the easels that Arles has put up near the places he painted there. It is a nice way to walk around Arles and will also give you more appreciation for Van Gogh and how things inspired him. This space, in particular, was evocative. I felt both... More

This was the former Arles Hospital with a beautiful garden in the center courtyard. While in Arles this was one of the scenes that Van Gogh painted--there is a picture board in the garden showing the painting A lovely, serene place that is free. There is a gift shop. Just walk through the door with "Hotel Dieu" above and walk... More

This lovely spot in the middle of Arles was full of pansies (as almost everywhere) and tulips and other spring flowers about to bloom. Was sorry to see the cigarette butts and trampled flowers at the edges of some of the flower beds (that's people fault) and we were too early to see the fountain flowing but would have been... More

Former hospital that now houses some private archives. The courtyard is nicely renovated and there are some beautiful plantings. A must-stop on the VanGogh tour in Arles

This was perhaps the most recognizable of all the sites from van Gogh s paintings we saw in Provence (including St-Remy). The gardens in the middle of the square were planted with fall flowers rather than spring flowers but it still looked they way it was 100 some years ago for van Gogh. There is good signage indicating the point... More

While in Arles, I read a book about his life, and the connection with Arles, while not always happy, makes for many a worthwhile trip around town to find the things he painted. Great fun in every way

The grounds were being readied for fall planting, so there was no ground conver over most of the courtyard. A photography exhibition was being held inside the main building, too, during my visit. It would have been nice to see the room where Van Gogh was institutionalized if it is still being maintained.
