Private van Gogh Vespa Tour from Paris
Did you know that Vincent van Gogh lived in a quaint town north of Paris called Auvers sur Oise?
Our private tour and a great excuse to get a fantastic breath of fresh air!
On picturesque and scenic roads away from Paris, follow your French tour guide, leisurely driving your own automatic Vespa scooter by yourself or with your passenger travel mate. This journey that follows the footsteps of van Gogh take you through small towns and villages with countless eye-catching highlights along the way. At Auvers sur Oise, be amazed how this quaint town, legally protected, still keeps the essence of its earlier times when van Gogh was walking around and about for his art. Of course, we visit the cemetery where he is buried next to the wheat fields that he painted so vibrantly.
After visiting several memorial sites of van Gogh’s passage like the church, his small bedroom, the house of Dr. Gachet, the wheat fields and so on, we drive back to Paris taking a different route with more surprises and the assurance that your day is filled with lovely memories.
