Café Fondation sur Saint-Paul-De-Vence

Beautiful museam with strong sculpture collection.

Loved this place. It's incredibly peaceful, the kind of museum where you slow down without even trying. It sits on a hill near Saint-Paul-de-Vence, about 25 km from Nice. Opened in 1964, it was France's first private art foundation, and the building was designed by Josep Lluís Sert together with the artists themselves. You can feel it, because the art is built into the gardens and the architecture as much as it hangs in the galleries. Don't miss the Giacometti courtyard, full of his tall, thin figures, and the Miró labyrinth, a sculpture garden that's fun to wander through. Keep an eye out for the Chagall mosaic, the pool designed by Braque and the Pol Bury fountain too. Sculptures by Calder and Miró are also spread around the gardens. I didn't try anything at the café, but I'd still recommend stopping there. It's super cute and the view of the garden is spectacular. It's the perfect spot to sit for a while after walking around. The shop is also really cool and worth a stop before you leave. They also run temporary exhibitions, so check what's on before you go. Highly recommend it. You're right next to Saint-Paul-de-Vence and the village is well worth exploring too.

This is one of the finest modern art gallery/museums I have seen

Worth the time to experience various art media. Paintings, sculptures, photography. Both indoor and outdoor exhibits.

We were a little disappointed; we expected to see many more works.

A magnificent place, well located with a beautiful garden. It houses some very fine sculptures. There are also a few paintings and sculptures inside the building, which features modern architecture.

Wonderful museum on the side of a mountain.

Art lovers dream! Just go, you’ll have no regrets

A very steep walk from St Paul. Pleasant gardens and excellent views of the surrounding countryside and coast. Some of the artwork is fabulous. Other works are not . That’s art for you! Cafe was not good and the staff in general were aloof

Unique experience - beautiful setting! You will easily need 2 hours for a walk-through - definitely don't forget lunch at the accompanying restaurant, very tasty creations.
