Directions
L'escalier d'Auvers is a staircase on Rue de la Sansonne in Auvers-sur-Oise, associated with a painting Vincent van Gogh made in July 1890. Van Gogh spent the final months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, painting scenes from the village and its surroundings. The steps offer a tangible connection between the place visitors can see today and a subject he chose to paint more than a century ago. Although the setting has been maintained and changed over time, its significance lies in that relationship between an everyday village passage and a work of art. Standing here invites visitors to look closely at the steps and compare the present-day view with Van Gogh’s interpretation.
