Yes we were in Nice for a day - but by bad scheduling the day was a Tuesday. French museums are 'fermé le Mardi '. Caught Matisse the Monday afternoon. Would like to mention Menton. Very small but worthwhile Jean Cocteau museum. (The main one got flooded by the sea. )
Oh yes, museums are closed on a Tuesday, such a shame! Thank you for adding the Jean Cocteau museum in Menton, it’s also a beautiful one. Have you visited the Théâtre en plein air in Cap d’Ail? It’s beautiful.
Gisele- Matisse is one of my favorites. And I love your point on: “Matisse’s use of bold, bright colours and simplified forms revolutionised modern art and continues to influence artists today.” Definitely a huge contribution to modern art as we know it. I appreciate this reminder.
Love this round up, Giselle! I was recently in the South of France + had Musée National Marc Chagall on my list but didn't end up making it. Next time!
Thank you! The Biblical Series never stopped to amaze me. I can still picture it on my mind. I hope you can manage to visit it next time you’re in South of France 🤍

Thank you Talia. By the way, my next post on Sunday will be about my favourite painting by Matisse :)
