5 Sisley Moret-sur-Loing (Seine-et-Marne)
Near the forest of Fontainebleau, Moret is a quaint little town, with its tower and its vestiges of ramparts, Gothic church, old houses of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the old bridge over the Loing, a quiet river whose tributaries and channel crisscross the countryside. Its confluence with the Seine is not far either. Nothing has changed much since the Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) settled there in 1880 for nearly twenty years, he painted numerous views of the Loing, its channel and banks of the Seine, leaving a wide place in heaven and perspective effects highlighted by poplars.
Many artists today just find the atmosphere that inspired Sisley. Sisley course must be put in place and allow boats to go down over the water, surrounded by green sites.
6 Arles and Van Gogh (Bouches-du-Rhône)
Arles kept no Van Gogh painting. Yet it is here that the painter had a creative fury of excitement leading to exhaustion, to the brink of sanity. He spent a little over a year - from February 1888 to May 1889 - in the city where he painted some 185 canvases. Among the most famous: Sunflowers, The House Café Terrace at night and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, linked to his altercation with Gauguin. It will then be transferred to the asylum at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Number of places he painted are still visible today.
The places where the artist has placed his easel are reported in the streets of Arles by panels representing his paintings.
7 Fresselines and the Valley of the Creuse (Creuse)
During the winter of 1889, Claude Monet set his easel at the confluence of two Creuse, at a place called The Battery, and before the mill Vervy. Its 23 tables will testify to the fascination of the master of Impressionism to the dark light and savagery of this border Indre Valley. Around Fresselines, Creuse, meandering, coves and cliffs, already mentioned by George Sand, will host the landscape painters of the school of Crozant. Today, the forest won on farmlands and heathland, but the mineral scenic beauty remains.
Fortress Crozant and promontory at the confluence of the Creuse and Sédelle, offers one of the points of view the most spectacular of the valley.
