The Ravoux Inn is located in Auvers-sur-Oise, a village north of Paris.\u00a0 This now famous inn was the last home to Vincent van Gogh<\/a>.\u00a0 Van Gogh was in Auvers for only seventy days, yet these were some of his most productive times.\u00a0 The inhabitants, such as Adeline Ravoux<\/a>, as well as the beautiful location and surrounding countryside were an inspiration to the artist, and he created over eighty paintings and numerous drawings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Van Gogh rented a room from Arthur Gustave Ravoux on May 20, 1890 for 3.50 francs a day including half board.\u00a0 In 1889, Ravoux had turned the house into an inn which was popular with the artistic community.\u00a0 Van Gogh was placed in room 5 on the top floor.\u00a0 The room which was quite small and sparsely furnished with just a bed, dressing table, and built-in cabinet, was lit by a skylight in the ceiling.\u00a0 During Van Gogh\u2019s stay the other rooms in the inn were all rented to other artists.<\/p>\n

Van Gogh returned to this room following the gunshot to his abdomen.\u00a0 In her memoir, Adeline Ravoux<\/a> recalls the night of the incident,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we saw Vincent arrive night had fallen, it must have been about nine o’clock. Vincent walked bent, holding his stomach\u2026 Mother asked him: \u201cM. Vincent, we were anxious, we are happy to see you to return; have you had a problem?\u201d<\/p>\n

He replied in a suffering voice: \u201cNo, but I have\u2026\u201d he did not finish, crossed the hall, took the staircase and climbed to his bedroom. I was witness to this scene. Vincent made such a strange impression on us that Father got up and went to the staircase to see if he could hear anything.<\/p>\n

He thought he could hear groans, went up quickly and found Vincent on his bed, laid down in a crooked position, knees up to the chin, moaning loudly: \u201cWhat’s the matter,\u201d said Father, \u201care you ill?\u201d Vincent then lifted his shirt and showed him a small wound in the region of the heart. Father cried: \u201cMalheureaux, [unhappy man] what have you done?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have tried to kill myself,\u201d replied Van Gogh.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His beloved brother, Theo, sat by his bedside on July 28 and 29, 1890, until Vincent breathed his last breath.<\/p>\n

Following Van Gogh’s death<\/a>, room 5 was known as the room where \u2018the man committed suicide\u2019 and it was never rented out again.\u00a0 There were 6 other rooms located on the top floor, many of which were rented to other artists.\u00a0 Over the course of time these rooms have been renovated however, Van Gogh\u2019s room has remained primarily untouched.\u00a0 Today visitors can step inside the small room and experience the bare simplicity of the space in which Van Gogh spent his last days.<\/p>\n

The Ravoux Inn is the only location Van Gogh lived that is still in its original state.\u00a0 The rooms in the attic still carry the essence of the artist who lived there.\u00a0 In 1926 the name of the auberge was changed to the current name of The House of Van Gogh, it is listed as a French Historic Landmark.<\/p>\n

Though The House of Van Gogh is known as a \u201clieu de m\u00e9moire\u201d or place of historic association, it is still in operation much as it was in Van Gogh\u2019s day.\u00a0 The restaurant still serves customers in the little dining room with a setting reminiscent of the artists\u2019 cafes of old. \u00a0The Ravoux Inn opened its doors for business in 1876 as a wine merchant\u2019s shop and restaurant.\u00a0 The 19th<\/sup> century d\u00e9cor and simplicity has been preserved helping to carry visitors back in time.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re walking in Van Gogh\u2019s steps<\/a> The House of Van Gogh is a place you won\u2019t want to miss.\u00a0 The auberge is now a museum and tourist attraction.\u00a0 If you\u2019d like to dine in the restaurant be sure to book in advance as the room is small.<\/p>\n
