Directions

Find L'escalier d'Auvers on Rue de la Sansonne in Auvers-sur-Oise; use the street address to navigate.

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.

Before you enter

  • Save Rue de la Sansonne in your map app; the staircase is an outdoor landmark, not a staffed site.
  • Wear comfortable shoes suitable for steps and village streets.
  • Bring an image of Van Gogh’s painting if you want to compare it with the present-day view.

What to expect

  • Expect a brief stop centered on the staircase and its connection to Van Gogh.
  • The scene may differ from the painting; more than a century has passed.
  • There may be limited space to pause without obstructing the steps.

During your visit

  • Keep the staircase clear for other pedestrians.
  • Take a moment to notice which features Van Gogh emphasized in his painted view.
  • Be considerate of nearby residents when taking photographs.
