Tips

The world-famous painter Vincent van Gogh only lived in Arles for 15 months (from February 1888) and during this time he created over 300 of his works, most of which show the city or its surroundings. The forum square was the background for the well-known “night café - Café la Nuit”.
Although there is no picture of the painter in the city, his shadow is everywhere.

Tourists like to gather in front of this cafe to get a glimpse of the spirit and traces of the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh! There are (according to Wikipedia) two works that refer to cafes in Arles. The similarity in the name of this "Cafe de la nuit" and a painting "Cafe de la nuit" probably leads to confusion.
The painting "Cafe de la nuit" shows the interior of the Café de la Gare on Place Lamartine.

The painting "Terrasse du café le soir" shows this terrace of the "Cafe de la nuit"
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caféterrasse_am_Abend
However, admiring paintings by this brilliant artist is always a welcome experience that can be explored in depth at the "Fondation Van Gogh".
