About this tour
Your private driver collects you from Paris for a half-day excursion to Auvers-sur-Oise, the village where Van Gogh painted his final weeks. You'll travel in a comfortable air-conditioned car with an English-speaking local who can point out landmarks and share context about the area. The route covers roughly 30 kilometres northwest, leaving you free to explore at your own pace—whether that's wandering the streets, visiting the Musée Daubigny, or simply soaking in the light that captivated the Impressionists. Your driver returns you to Paris after around 5–6 hours total.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Paris location and driven northwest into the Île-de-France countryside. Auvers-sur-Oise is a modest riverside town, picturesque but unhurried. Your driver will drop you in the centre and you're free to spend 2–3 hours on foot, visiting galleries, the church, or the Musée Daubigny (tickets separate). The journey itself is straightforward—quiet roads, no major stops en route. Your driver remains available for the return leg. This is a self-directed cultural excursion, not a guided tour, so you'll need to decide what interests you beforehand.
