THE RENOIR MUSEUM
In the footsteps of the Master Impressionist painter
The museum and domain is on the chemin des Collettes. Discover the Domaine des Collettes, a haven of peace and greenness with
century old olives trees, that so enraptured Renoir that he made it his home, this eternal nomad and restless soul.
Listen to the story of the life he led here in Cagnes-sur-Mer, interspersed with many moving and funny anecdotes. Find the very unique atmosphere of this
domain that has been preserved intact thanks to the very specific directions by his sons and close friends.
You can admire his workshop, where 12 original paintings and more than 30 sculptures of the Master, showing the evolution of his technique and the
different periods of influence, are on exhibition.
Aided by our guide, discover the man he was to better understand his painting and his time.
