Visit of Van Gogh Europe

On Thursday, March 24, I had the pleasure to accompany Mr. Alain van der Horst (President) and Mrs. Sarah Dekker (Project Manager) for a visit to some Van Gogh places in teh Borinage. The tour included stops at the former Marcasse coal mine and the Van Gogh House in Petit-Wasmes where Vincent worked as a lay preacher among the miners.

Thanks to "Visit Mons", Tourist Office of the town Mons, for organizing the visit !
