After three years of visiting Arles, I finally made it to L'Espace Van Gogh. This was the only remaining Van Gogh site on the original circuit that I hadn't seen. This site housed the hospital that Van Gogh was brought to after he severed his ear. The ear was stiched up here. Later he was locked up here for a while. The scene painted in the garden reflects the tranquility of the site.

Many tourists visit this spot, and the shops here carry a variety of Van Gogh reproductions.

| Vincent is everywhere, too bad his paintings didn't sell during his lifetime. |
On another souvenir of Arles, I have tried to point out where the apartment we have rented in May for the last 3 years is located.
