The "House of the Marsh" (Maison du Marais) offers visitors an insight into Vincent van Gogh's daily life during his stay in the Borinage from December 1878 to October 1880. Within these walls, Van Gogh, as a self-taught artist, took his first steps into the world of art. Don't miss: reproductions of his works created during his time there, his literary preferences, his correspondence, and the atmospheric room furnished with period decor.

Cette demeure relève, à vrai dire, davantage de la reconstitution que d'un témoignage fidèle de la réalité telle que l'artiste l'a connue. Les informations historiques disponibles étant extrêmement limitées, le mobilier qui s'y trouve aujourd'hui a été installé ultérieurement afin de donner l'illusion d'un intérieur habité et de combler les espaces laissés vides. En revanche, l'accueil fut particulièrement décevant. La personne à la réception s'est montrée d'une impolitesse et d'une désinvolture peu compatibles avec un lieu consacré à la mémoire d'un si grand artiste. Son manque évident d'enthousiasme et d'engagement nuisait considérablement à l'expérience du visiteur. Un personnage d'une telle importance mériterait un personnel animé par un véritable sens de l'accueil et du devoir, plutôt que des employés donnant avant tout l'impression de n'avoir qu'un seul désir : terminer leur journée au plus vite et fermer les portes.

Wunderschöne Lokation. Viele hilfreiche und interessante Informationen. Leider nur wenige Bilder und Zeichnungen.

A small, but important site in the development of the renowned painter. If you're in the area and have an interest in art history, then it's worth a visit. If not, it is unlikely to be worth your time. A video does play in the house for 50 mins, which is well done but a few mins is more than sufficient. Information is in english and WC is available, small parking area by the sites and all at ground level.
