This is Saint-Paul Asylum, Saint-Remy, France, where Van Gogh spent a
year. He was seeking treatment for his mental illness, and he painted
100 paintings while living there. The place is still a facility with
patients, but we only saw the part open to tourists. It was a thrill to
actually be in Van Gogh's room. His mental health improved there so much that he was allowed to wander the countryside and paint to his heart's content.
