If you are an admirer of Renoir or just an art lover, it is fascinating to visit this house situated in a lovely garden overlooking Cagnes sur Mer. Fascinating to see what this great painter surrounded himself with and to see what he painted - because he painted what he saw. A wonderful opportunity to explore further his life and his work. I really enjoyed this visit.

A stunning collection of work by Fernand Léger - regarded as the forerunner of Pop Art. Entrance fee is only €5.50 and includes an audio guide - provides excellent information. The museum is stunning on the outside, covered in several huge mosaics, also by Lèger. Inside the space is bright and airy with high ceilings and lots of natural light. Everything is well laid out and easy to navigate. There are lots of benches and seating throughout the exhibition areas where you can sit down and look at the art while listening to the audio guide. The Museum is on the outskirts of Biot, hidden off one of the roads leading up to the village. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.

For over 400 years, the Citadel rings the city. Element of the defence of the port the most important between Antibes and Toulon for centuries, it is now one of the few monuments of this magnitude of the Var coast. Proud of its rich maritime past, Saint-Tropez has decided to create a modern museum in the dungeon of the town's citadel, allowing all visitors to discover the daily lives of men and women who shaped over the centuries the Saint-Tropez of today.

Scenic old fortress turned into an interesting, unpretentious naval museum, with stunning 380° views. The location is superb, but the best part is getting into the museum. With information in both French and English, the mixed media exhibits are appealing for both young and old. Quite low cost by St Tropez standards, the 3euros entrance fee is a steal! The exhibits are tastefully displayed and cover the true identity of Saint Tropez in the past 500 years. Indeed, St Trop was not just a picture perfect fishing village, but it turns out it had much greater importance. The exhibits cover commerce and fishing trips along Provence’s coast, as well as long hazardous voyages aboard large merchant sailing boats beyond Cape Horn, journeys along the coasts of Africa and India, and the age of luxurious liners. Amongst notorious Tropezian celebrities, I discovered De Suffren, who had volunteered to help the colonists during the American Revolutionary War. Highly recommended !

The Heritage Museum will be open during the summer of 2020 during free organized visits: every Friday from July 3rd to August 21 that 10 a.m. The rest of the year: contact the Culture and Heritage department to check if it is open. This museum will allow you to discover the daily life of yore of the inhabitants of the gulfs. The museum is housed in magnificent buildings: a village house, an old forge and the old oil mill, dating from the 16th century. Upstairs, there is the evocation of costumes and daily life of yesteryear through the reconstruction of the living room, the bedroom and the barn, a traditional configuration in villages like that of Grimaud.
