Patrick. Thanks for your comments. Auvers certainly does have its charms, as you describe. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from going to discover the town and the Van Gogh sights for himself. The question I was addressing in the first part of the article was whether or not I “felt” Van Gogh’s presence in his attic room. I didn’t on that visit. Others react differently. There’s no right or wrong here. Gary

I was in Auvers in October, and found it a beautiful place. Quiet lanes, charming old houses, fields nearby, and long views of the river valley. I’ll agree it isn’t easy to get to, esp. during the week (when there isn’t a direct train). And, we went on a Monday, so unfortunately the visitor center, Ravoux inn, Dr. Gachet house, and absinth museum were all closed. But I am still glad we went.

Modern-day Auvers is an extraordinarily beautiful place, and setting foot into Vincent’s room at the Ravoux was one of the more poignant moments of my life. I am sorry you didn’t feel it as I did and as thousands of others have.
