The Riviera is where modern art came to live: Matisse in Nice, Chagall in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Picasso in Antibes, Renoir in Cagnes, Léger in Biot, Cocteau in Menton. I trained in art history, and as a state-licensed guide I may guide you inside the museums and foundations themselves, not only to their doors. Here are my art days, from a half day among the galleries to the full Art Experience Day led by a specialist guide from my partner network, every one of them private, for your party only.
For a first approach, my half day in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (€450 per group) walks the ramparts and the galleries. For collectors and lovers of modern art, the Art Experience Day (€900 per group) adds the Matisse and Chagall museums and the Fondation Maeght with an art historian guide from my partner network. The villas of Cap-Ferrat are the choice for guests who love the Belle Époque and gardens.
No. Entrance fees are paid on site, roughly €10 to €20 per person and per museum. I check the opening days before confirming: the Matisse and Chagall museums close on Tuesdays, the Picasso Museum in Antibes on Mondays, the Fondation Maeght opens every day.
Yes, on request and subject to their availability: a gallerist's back room, an artist's studio. This is part of my bespoke collection, arranged with partners I trust, as an introducer.
Tell me your dates, your party and the artists who move you, and I will compose the day, with me or with a specialist art guide from my partner network.
