The Café Terrace (PROSE: Vincent van Gogh) was a painting by Vincent van Gogh. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor) It was painted in either Auvers-sur-Oise (TV: Vincent and the Doctor) or Arles. (PROSE: Vincent van Gogh)

The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond used The Café Terrace to find Vincent when they visited Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890. It appeared in a guidebook from the Musée d'Orsay. Using the picture, the Doctor could see that they were looking for a "sort of orangey light, chairs and tables outside". (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The full name of the painting was not stated in Vincent and the Doctor. It is used here only for disambiguation purposes.
  • In the real world, and as stated in the prose story Vincent van Gogh, Vincent painted The Café Terrace in Arles and not in Auvers-sur-Oise as Vincent and the Doctor suggests. The two locations are over 400 miles apart.
