The Artists' Route
The Côte d'Azur is an open-air gallery: The light that attracted the Impressionists and Fauvists still falls on the same landscapes they painted. A journey along the Artists' Route connects the most important museums and studios:

Practical Tip: A "museum road trip" along the coast (Nice → Cagnes → Biot → Antibes → Cannes → Saint-Paul → Menton) takes 3–4 days and is one of the most rewarding art journeys in Europe. Many museums are free or inexpensive—the value for money is unbeatable.
