Saint Remy de Provence是我們day tour的最後一站,我們只能夠在這裡花一個小時。聖黑米有兩大景點,一是古羅馬遺跡Glanum Site,另一個是梵谷曾住過的St Paul Monastery,二選一的話我當然選後者。
Picture

St Paul Monastery and Hospital是一所尚在運作中的精神病院,梵谷在1889至1890年間在這裡接受治療。花4歐羅就可以入內看看裡面的小教堂、雪白的迴廊、梵谷的房間與其室外小小的薰衣草田,田上掛了6幅梵谷的著名畫作。

Picture

梵谷的房間除了有薰衣草田的景觀外是那麼的簡陋,與他的作品現時數千萬美金一中幅的要價形成了強烈的對比。物質的匱乏並不曾影響他的才華,他在53星期內繪畫了150幅畫,每次看到他的畫,想起了他坎坷的一生,總是叫人感到婉惜不已。

Picture

時間飛快過去,我們依照Albert的指示步行往市中心集合,不過他的指示不是很清晰,一不留意已經會迷路。沿路插有谷畫作的複製品,不過,展出的地方卻又不是梵谷曾作畫的地方,奇怪!?例如我見到有我最愛的Starry Night,但實際作畫的地方卻在St Remy的郊外,我唯有運用自己的想像力,望向天空,幻想那是Starry Night的那一片穹蒼...............

:: 有用資訊 ::

美食: St Remy有不少美食,除了星期三的市集外,名店有Olive-Huile du Monde的橄欖油、Joel Durand的朱古力、Le Petit Duc的曲奇等等(可惜我連window shopping都沒有時間)

交通:Arles和Avignon均有巴士前往St. Remy,由St. Remy市中心需步行15分鐘左右到Glanum 或 St Paul Monastery

Bonjour! i'm back from Provence. Really enjoyed my stay there. Nice weather, good food, and beautiful landscape. One could almost imagine how pretty the countryside is during the lavendar and sunflower season

We took ur advice and joined the day tour organised by Provence Reservation. The Van Gogh tour is pretty good though a bit rush trying to cover 3 places in 5 hours. But we managed to find time to enjoy a cup of coffee in the 'Van Gogh cafe'

Looking forward to go back to Provence one day :)
