Tomb of Van Gogh
Van Gogh's grave is the primary attraction of Auvers sur Oise. The town has approximately 7,000 inhabitants and is 30kms from Paris. Alongside Van Gogh's grave also lies the body of his brother, Theo. The village cemetery is next to the town. It is accessible from the same exit and is more or less 1 km from the centre. It is very easy to find as there are plenty of signs in the area to show the way. The tiny cemetery is surrounded by walls and is approximately 60 square meters. The cemetery has one level and to find the grave of Van Gogh just have to look for the small group of people .... He's on the left.
Although Van Gogh's body lies in Auvers sur Oise, he had only been living there for a few months. He had come from the French Provence where he was admitted into a mental hospital. He settled in Auvers where, thanks to Theo, he met a famous doctor willing to welcome and help him (it is also possible to visit this house in Auvers sur Oise, which today has been converted into a restaurant). Due to his loneliness, Van Gogh committed suicide by shooting himself twice just a few months after arriving in the village. Six months after his brother Theo died.
