Directions

Maison du Docteur Gachet is about a 15-minute walk from central Auvers-sur-Oise, at 78 Rue du Dr Gachet.

Paul Gachet was a physician with a strong interest in art who became closely associated with Vincent van Gogh during the painter’s final weeks in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890. Van Gogh visited Gachet’s home and painted his portrait, making the doctor one of the most recognisable figures in the artist’s story. Maison du Docteur Gachet also brings the Gachet family into focus, offering a fuller picture of the people behind that famous connection. Today, the preserved house and its displays provide an intimate setting in which to explore their history. Outside, the garden and its views offer a sense of the landscape that attracted artists to Auvers-sur-Oise. Contemporary exhibitions sometimes add a new perspective to the site’s nineteenth-century associations.

Before you enter

  • Check current opening days before setting out; the listed schedule closes on Mondays and Tuesdays.
  • Allow time for the walk from central Auvers-sur-Oise rather than rushing between sights.
  • Check whether a contemporary exhibition is on if that interests you.

What to expect

  • Expect a small, preserved house rather than a large art museum.
  • Look for displays about the Gachet family as well as Van Gogh.
  • Leave time for the garden and its views.

During your visit

  • Read the interpretive material to place Van Gogh’s visits in context.
  • Move through the rooms at an unhurried pace; the family story is part of the visit.
  • Step into the garden to appreciate the setting beyond the house.
