Eat and Drink with the painters from Auvers

For a gastronomic pause, opt for the Hostellerie du Nord. Situated at the foot of the church, this prestigious restaurant, run by a celebrated chef, proposes traditional and rustic dishes in an artistic atmosphere, much appreciated by Cezanne in his time.

If you prefer to stay in Van Gogh's universe, head to the restaurant Sous le Porche. Between the Town Hall, painted by the artist, and the Auberge Ravoux, this creative establishment offers a choice of original dishes like Safran Rabbit or Snails Chorizo....

As an aperitif, Auvers village serves up the Absinthe Museum. The ancestor of Pastis, forbidden since 1915, greatly inebriated the 19th-century painters, especially the Impressionists from Auvers. The colour of this 'green fairy' can be found in many of Van Gogh'spaintings. In paintings, posters, drawings and engravings...here, the absinthe can be tasted in all the arts!

To learn more about these absinthe drinking artists, a special audio-guided tour entitled «Voyage to  the  Time of the Impressionists » will take you to the heart of this artistic movement.
