St-Paul-de-Mausolée

St-Paul-de-Mausolée Review

You can cut across the fields from Glanum to St-Paul-de-Mausolée, the lovely, isolated asylum where Van Gogh spent the last year of his life (1889-90). But enter it quietly: it shelters psychiatric patients to this day—all of them women. You're free to walk up the beautifully manicured garden path to the church and its jewel-box Romanesque cloister, where the artist found womblike peace.
