Took a train from LaDefense in Paris to Auver-sur-Oise, approximately 75 min with one transfer… very straightforward. Got off at the station in the center of town, walked across the street to the tourist office (very helpful, friendly, provided a MSP for “the Painters’ Path”, spent an hour and half visiting all of the notable Van Gogh sights in town…had read a lot about the town ahead of time- great trip with good weather, saw copies of his paintings, the auberge where he lived, the church he painted, the cemetery where he and kid brother are buried, the fields he painted, Dr Gachet’s museum… a thoroughly enjoyable day. Return trains are only every hour on weekdays. A must experience for VanGogh followers…
