Offered in: English and 1 more

Begin your journey in Nice, where Henri Matisse discovered flat color and pattern. Learn about the Riviera's unique light, which has drawn artists to the Côte d'Azur for centuries. Discover why luxury followed art and hear the hidden story of how the color blue was reinvented here.

Continue to Antibes and visit the Musée Picasso, where the artist spent two months in a castle above the sea and painted some of his most joyful works. Stroll through the historic alleys of Old Antibes, passing by the Chapelle du Saint-Esprit, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Saracen Tower.

Next, head to the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, built by the Maeghts because they believed art needed its own landscape. Visit the Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by Matisse, and learn about the artist's connection to the chapel.

End your tour with a glass of wine at Château de Crémat, a historic estate with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
