What to expect

  1. Musee Picasso
    1h 15m · Admission ticket included
    Start in Antibes at the Picasso Museum, housed in the seafront Chateau Grimaldi where Pablo Picasso lived and painted in 1946. Admire the works he created here, including La Joie de Vivre, alongside ceramics and pieces by Nicolas de Stael and Hans Hartung, then step onto the terrace for views over the Mediterranean.
  2. Port Vauban
    45m
    Stroll through the old town of Antibes: the 16th-century ramparts, the Provencal covered market of Cours Massena and Port Vauban, one of the largest yachting harbours in Europe, watched over by Fort Carre. Your driver drops you right at the gates of the old town.
  3. Vallauris
    1h
    Continue to Vallauris, the pottery village where Picasso discovered ceramics at the Madoura workshop and made more than 4,000 pieces. Browse the artisan potters along avenue Georges Clemenceau and see his bronze Man with a Sheep on the market square.
  4. St-Paul-de-Vence
    1h 30m
    Drive up to the fortified hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence for a relaxed lunch at your own pace on a terrace with views over the hills and the sea. Our team can reserve a table for you, including at the legendary La Colombe d'Or.
  5. St-Paul-de-Vence
    1h
    After lunch, wander the cobbled lanes and ramparts of the artists' village that inspired Chagall, Matisse and Signac. Discover its many art galleries and sculptures, and visit Marc Chagall's grave in the village cemetery. The Fondation Maeght, just outside the walls, can be added on request.
