You're standing on the Place du Forum in Arles. Walk to the north-eastern corner of the square, and you're right where Vincent van Gogh set up his easel in September 1888. Now look south. That's the café terrace he painted. These days it's called Café van Gogh. In 1990 and 1991 this spot was refurbished to look like his painting again.
