Matisse Museum (Nice) - Upon arrival in the exclusive Cimiez Hill district, you will visit the Matisse Museum. Housed in the 17th century Arena VIlla, this exquisite collection details the great master's works from the late 19th century until his death in 1954. Especially interesting qre the sketches he made in preparation for his work at Chapelle de Rosaire in Vence, in honor of the resident nuns who nursed him back to health.
Musée National Marc Chagall (Nice) - a brief drive you will arrive at Chagall's museum. Established by the artist himself, the collection features the most important permanent exhibits of his work. The main focus is a series of 17 canvases comprising his colorful biblical message. The works are masterpieces - stunning use of space and light further enhance the paintings, sculptures and mosaics.
Saint Paul de Vence - This perched village high atop Cannes has been immortaliwed by famous painters, writers, poets and singers. See for yourself why so many French and foreign artists have fallen for the charm of its cobblestone streets, medieval houses and flowering alleyways. Renoir, Chagall, Utrillo, Soutine, Signac, Modigliani and Matisse were all seduced by the beauty and light of this artists' Mecca.
Maeght Foundation (St Paul de Vence) - One of the world's most impressive small museums is located on a wooded cliff just 1km from the village. Founded in 1964, it is a temple of 20th century art marrying the arc-and-plane architecture of José Maria Sert; looming sculptures by Miro and Moore and the late-life masterzork by Chagall called La Vie. Giacometti's figures stride in the courtyard, Miroùs Egg emerges from the pool and mobiles by Calder and Arp shift in the breeze. Inside is an ever-changing feast of works by Braque, Léger, Dubuffet and other 20th century masters.
