Fondation Carmignac

This nearly 17,000-square-foot art center draws art lovers from the world over to beautiful Porquerolles island, which is easily accessible by boat or ferry from many towns along France’s southern coast. The center has exhibits that feature rarely seen contemporary artworks and several outdoor installations. After touring the museum, visitors can explore the beaches, pine tree forests and vineyards of the government-protected island. It is recommended to book tickets ahead of time and to reserve a private tour guide to get a better understanding of the art you will see.
