You Can Rent La Chambre de Van Gogh

In 1888 and '89, Vincent van Gogh painted three versions of the bedroom where he slept in Arles, France. He titled them The Bedroom, but they have since been known as Bedroom in Arles. The Yellow House that contained the bedroom was bombed during World War II and no longer exists. But avid Van Gogh fans can still visit and even stay a night or two in the bedroom, because a recreation exists as an Airbnb in Charroux, France. Behold La Chambre de Van Gogh. The accommodation has a living room, kitchen, and bath, which are all nice and modern, but the bedroom is something to behold. Charroux artist François Lassere has transformed the bedroom into Van Gogh's vision as rendered in the paintings.




Compare the details. Lassere has even copied Van Gogh's brushstrokes to give the entire room the illusion of a painting, yet you can sleep in it. The bed is described as a double bed, but that might be part of the illusion, or else beds really are just smaller in France. See more pictures in the gallery.
