Fodor's Expert Review St-Paul-de-Mausolé

St-Rémy-de-Provence Hospital

This is the isolated asylum where van Gogh spent the last year of his life (1889–90). Enter quietly: the hospital shelters psychiatric patients to this day, all of them women. You're free to walk up the beautifully manicured garden path to the church and its jewel-box Romanesque cloister, where the artist found womblike peace.
