Many Superb Art Galleries:The Peynet Museum in Antibes is brilliant. Peynet, Picasso and humour.The Fernand Léger Museum on the right on the way up to Biot is fantastic, we are told. Just re-opened after 4 years of renovations.The Picasso museum in Antibes is good ... or was! Shut for maintenance until July 19, 2008.Matisse's Chapel at Vence (Don't go Friday. We did. It's shut!! Quel surprise?) Also Matisse's Museum. May be good.The Renoir Museum at Cagnes sur Mer is something we've never been to but at least it appears to be open!I could go on for ever. There are so many interesting places. More info here. Or here. |
