Musée Bonnard – so much activity!

Pierre Bonnard loved his home at Le Cannet. He painted his wife Marthe in the bath, the cats in the dining room, the splendid colours of his garden, and, naturally, his view of the sparkling Mediterranean. Le Cannet now has the world’s only museum dedicated to the artist. The current Bonnard en tout intimité exhibition until April 23rd.

Pablo Picasso discovered Mougins with his muse, Dora Marr, in 1935. Tempted by the proximity of the French Riviera and surrounded by unspoilt countryside, Picasso returned to Mougins in 1961. He established his atelier in the building that is now the tourist office. He purchased the 35-room villa Notre Dame de Vie, and it was there where he died in 1973 at the age of 91. The villa is privately owned.
