This morning there was a visit to the Pressoir Auversois vineyards which run in a narrow strip alongside the railway line, more about van Gogh and other artists followed by a visit to Madame Guinguette to taste local products. A coach then took everyone to Pontoise to meet the boat. Diana went on this excursion by I opted to stay on the boat, setting off at 10am and arriving well before the others,
There were interpretation boards in the vineyard which was only about 3 rows wide, this is right beside the railway line so no room for expansion..
There were several painters in the area and van Gogh lived in a property owned by Charles-François Daubigny which was highly decorated and contains some of van Gogh’s possessions’
