Chateau d'Auvers, Auvers-sur-Oise

What a beautiful place within a beautiful place. If you're and art fan, impressionists, post impressionists, this is a must see. The village is cute and quiet and picturesque. Dedicated to Vincent van Gogh and immortalized in his most famous paintings. Paris is just two short train rides away. So quiet, so peaceful. Highly recommended.

Fun museum and nice castle! The museum is one big audiotour with different rooms. There is in every room a projected video where you can sit down and listen to the life of multiple impressionist artists.

It's a petit mais beau chateau at Auvers sur Oise. Located right in the way from musée d'absinthe (or maison de van gogh/his tomb or the church or maison daubigny, etc.) to maison du docteur Gachet. We made a nice little stop on the way. Entry to the park is free but inside the chateau is paid. There's parking and a restaurant called "Le Nymphe" right behind the main structure of the chateau. There are gardens on 3-4 levels, one you have the porch right at the level of the chateau from where you get a great view of the jardin à le français below and the entire village along with the hills beyond. Steps lead down from the jardin à le français to what initially seems like just a small fountain surrounded by trees however there are are some small lawns behind. In front of this lawn is the entrance to the exhibition areas or the Orangerie. However, I didn't see them as we had other spots to look at! There are other tree-lined paths lined horizontally in the plane of the chateau. Overall it's a pretty place to chill and relax, the view from the jardin right outside the main building is very beautiful. We also had our lunch picnic in the lawns at the lowest level.

A lovely château to visit while in the area. You can walk around the palace grounds and gardens for free while you admire the views of the surrounding valley and city. I didn't do anything in château but still greatly enjoyed the palace just from the grounds alone.

The exposition was worth it, beware, the whole thing is an expo, there arent any 'castle interiors' to visit, theres an immersive expo that is worth it. the gardens were a lil dry
