Renoir Museum Chemin des Collettes
(33) 4-9320-6107
The last home of the painter Auguste Renoir, the Domaine Les Collettes, has been turned into a fabulous museum dedicated to the artist. Featuring its original furniture and décor, the building also contains the artists’ studios and many of his works, including paintings, sculptures and drawings. One of the studios contains the artists’ wheelchair, which stands near an easel, giving the sense that the great master has just departed. Tip: Remember to watch Camille Claudel, the wonderful movie about one of Renoir’s lovers and muses before visiting.
