In case you’re like me and don’t know much about art or artists, let me give you a little background on Van Gogh. He moved from Paris to Arles for about a year in hopes of stimulating his creativity. Moving to Provence (the region) did the trick and he painted tons and tons of pictures down here, assisted by the famous “light” of Provence. This is the cafe he frequented and painted. It’s now a bit of a tourist trap but it’s still a cool piece of art history
