Vincent Van Gogh mental hospital. Medieval town Nov.1 Friday

Took a drive into,the country to see the mental hospital where Van Gogh went. A waste of time. Replica of the room where he lived.



Ice baths were used for shock therapy.









The one white tulip symbolizes that he felt alone.
He was allowed to leave the hospital and go outside a paint. Thought to be the beginning of art therapy.











Then we went to a medieval city in the mountains.
There was display of Princess Grace of Monaco pictures. They family had stayed and prayed in the area / church. They donated money for the new windows in the church.












This is where women did their laundry and gossiped.















Country side looking down from the castle on hill.



Linen store. Provence is known for linens. Very beautiful but I do not use tablecloths.



Can you see the window in the rock. People are living in the medieval town. They put tons of money into the small, cold, old homes.

  1. Why was it a waste of time to see Vincent's room at the asylum?
