Vincent in Arles
(1888)
 

During his first two months in Arles, Vincent stayed in a room at the Carrel hotel and restaurant, owned by Albert Carrel and his wife, Cathérine Carrel-Garcin. The hotel was a two-storey building with a small roof terrace and a first-floor balcony. 

Shortly after arriving in Arles, Vincent wrote to his brother Theo:
“At times it seems to me that my blood is more or less ready to start circulating again, which wasn’t the case lately in Paris, I really couldn’t stand it any more.”
