The Treasures of Auvers-sur-Oise …
One hour away from Paris, Auvers-sur-Oise is part of Vexin Regional Nature Park : www.valdoise-tourisme.com
The village, with its wealth of nineteenth-century features, is surrounded by nature : next to the Oise river, a forest and a countryside nurtured by its deep-rooted inhabitants.
Thanks to its unique appeal and atmosphere, Auvers-sur-Oise has historically attracted many artists : Daubigny, Pissaro, Cézanne and Van Gogh, who was welcomed in 1890 by Doctor Gachet. Several places testify of this rich background :
