A few kilometers from Paris’s north are 2 villages of painters that you absolutely need to visit. Those places inspired artist that permanently influenced the world art. Here is the one-day program to visit Ecouen and Auvers-sur-Oise.
Guided visit ½ day: The village of Ecouen kept its little picturesque streets. In the 19th century, artists installed their workshop in beautiful houses of the old center, under the castle.
The guided walk follows a path illustrated of reproductions of paintings through the streets that carry the names of nowadays unknown painters. This colony of artists constituted there a creative breeding ground and an emulation which marked its time and still translates the attraction for the scenes of the everyday life.
Lunch in the Italian restaurant Il Maestro who’s installed in the middle of a parc, in an old painters’s house. The ‘Bistronomique” will delight the gourmets: Entrée, hot meal, dessert, wine and coffee.
- Walk with a guide, in the village. Take a look at its pretty alleys and country roads following the footsteps of landscape’s painters like Van Gogh, one of the most famous in the world. Reproductions of paintings were installed all over that pleasant path.
- Then, meeting at the Auvers’s castle (transfer by walk or by bus, at 300 meters from the center) for the visit of the path created in the castle’s rooms.
Retracing the history of the "impressionist" painting movement, an original scenography (projections, reconstructions of 19th century settings...) retraces the context, the characteristics and influences of this movement on international art.
Options: snack at the Castle, presentation and tasting of local products.
