[2025 Arles Attraction] Travel Guide for Van Gogh Cafe (Cafe La Nuit) (Updated Feb)

"Passing by Van Gogh's fire Yare in painting and reality" It is famous around the world for Vincent van Gogh, the place where his inspiration blossomed. Here he created more than a hundred works, with the landscapes, streets and people of Arles the protagonists on his canvases. However, the fiery soul is always difficult to rest at peace. Van Gogh cut off his ears, suffered a mental breakdown, and was eventually admitted to a sanatorium. In 1888, the lonely Van Gogh moved from the gloomy northern France to the warm and bright town of South Faial, which coincided with the warmth and art he pursued wholeheartedly. The sun shines here all year round and the wheat fields grow wildly. ❤️Van Gogh’s Cafe The warm sunshine of Arles embraced Van Gogh, who created hundreds of paintings here. You may have seen the painting "Cafe at Night". The bright lights of a cafe in Arles are like brilliant orange blossoms in the dark blue night sky, full of human warmth. The successful artist's cafe is in the exquisite and tight Paris, but the cafe where Van Gogh stopped is isolated in the countryside of Arles. Most of the works created by Van Gogh during this period have a warm undertone. 💎Recommended citywalk routes for reference ▪️The streets in residential areas are beautiful and healing. ▪️L'espace Van Gogh, the former site of Van Gogh's sanatorium ▪️Le Cafe Van Gogh ▪️Arènes d'Arles ▪️The Yellow House in Van Gogh’s painting

After two nights in Aix en Provence, my next destination was Arles. I hadn't read up or researched it. But during a conversation with someone at the hostel. It was pointed out that numerous famous artists including the likes of Vang Gogh and Picasso had taken residence in Arles at some point of time in their life. Infact, in the case of Van Gogh, it was even said to be his most productive time. Having heard of such a thing. I was very curious about Arles now. In the past many years, I keep coming across someone working on their france itinerary and asking me if they should do Arles or Aix en Provence. Now that i have done both these places. I'd say both are worth, I mean if you can stretch two more nights. Do the other place too. No doubt Aix and Provence is the biggest but i thought in terms of sights, activities and things to do, Arles seemed to have a longer list. Anywho, worst case a day trip is what it definitely deserves. I managed to visit most of the Roman ruins sights in Arles. You might wanna consider atleast the Roman amphitheater, the baths of Constantine, st trophime cloister, the Roman theater and the mediaeval graveyard. The Place de la Republique is the main square in Arles. Surrounding the square you’ll find many shops and cafes, as well as the Saint-Trophime church and the town hall. Lastly the van gogh cafe and and the foundation van gogh museum come recommended. #myhiddengems #france #arles #vangogh #cherryblossom2024 #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #romanruins #europe
