Art holiday · Côte d'Azur
The Côte d'Azur is one of the most concentrated stretches of 20th-century art in the world. An art holiday here can be more than museum visits — it can include a few hours of your own modelling, in a real atelier in Vallauris.
Vallauris is where Picasso revived French ceramics in the late 1940s. The town is still inhabited by working ceramists and sculptors. Karine Garzi's atelier sits in this living tradition: terracotta figures modelled by hand, bronzes cast in limited editions.
Morning at the Musée Picasso in Antibes, afternoon modelling in Vallauris. Léger in Biot, Matisse and Chagall in Nice, the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. End the week with a visit to Karine Garzi's studio and a bronze chosen to take home.
The atelier is reachable from Cannes, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Nice and Mougins in under thirty minutes. Workshops can be arranged around your hotel schedule, including for couples and small private groups.
