Do you know that just 40mn train ride from Paris, you can be totally immersed in the Nature ? During your stay in Paris, how about doing something different and taking a hike in the most scenic countryside. This experience, in small group of less than 10, brings you in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh, the famous Dutch painter, from Pontoise to Meriel via Auvers sur Oise. He painted several famous art pieces in Auvers sur Oise (80 to be exact). He died in 1890 and was buried in the village along with his brother Theo. Our walk will also take you through the city of Pontoise, the countryside of the Vexin , in the quaint village of Auvers sur Oise and along the Oise river until the village of Meriel, where we take our train back to Paris. PLEASE BE ADVISED that this is a 7.5 miles HIKE with some hills. You need to be fit enough if you want to enjoy the walk. That means you should be able to walk at least 5km at a GOOD pace and without rest. Please note that the tour lasts 5 hours.

Agréable randonnée pédestre de Pontoise à Méril en passant surtout par Auvers-sur-Oise où l’on a pu découvrir les différents sites côtoyés par ce génial peintre Vincent Van Gogh durant les deux derniers mois de sa courte vie, le tout agrémenté d’un commentaire très intéressant en anglais de notre sympathique guide Victor tout au long de ce périple de 6 h environ.

He made it really fun by posing questions along the way. Very knowledgeable and personable leader. And he had great communication to help the group bond.

If you’re in Paris (solo or not) this was an incredible and unique experience you’ll never forget. A great workout but very doable if you are active, mixed with incredible story telling and personalized hiking trails by Victor on the life and paintings of Van Gogh and other Impressionist painters. It was so neat to see each spots where they created their works first hand. You feel like you’re back in the 1800s walking through each of the towns, forests, sunflower + beet fields, by the river where they did. It was truly a magical experience. Thank you again, Victor!
