Saint Tropez and the painters
FEEL THE TROPEZIAN LIGHT
Saint-Tropez became a favorite destination for 20th-century artists. The arrival of Paul Signac in 1892 transformed village life, attracting painters captivated by the stunning colors and light reflecting off the houses in the bright sunshine. Join us for a stroll through the charming old town and along the harbor, where you can admire works by Bonnard, Matisse, Picabia, Derain and Marquet, comparing their art and sources of inspiration. We end our visit at the Musée de l'Annonciade. Whether you're interested in the Divisionist and Fauvist movements, or a beginner eager to learn more, this tour promises to delight!
Explore the Village of the Twentieth Century, delving into the lives of the painters and the sources of their inspiration.
Your tour guide, who grew up in Saint-Tropez, is passionate about 20th-century painting. The tour begins at the port, where the exceptional light of the Mediterranean has seduced painters since the late 19th century. This light has seduced painters since the late 19th century.
After a few explanations of life in La Tropez at the time, the tour continues at the Musée de l'Annonciade. The “most beautiful of France's small museums”, according to Mr. Monery, transports visitors into a world of color and passion.
Its architecture (a former chapel) and the works chosen by painters and collectors that adorn its walls reflect the passion of its creators.
Stroll with me through the old town of Tropez and discover the places that inspired the artists, accompanied by reproductions of their works.

YOUR LOCAL GUIDE RECOMMENDS
"Experience the breathtaking light of Saint Tropez. As the day winds down, the harbor's bask in warm sunlight. When storms roll in and a single ray breaks through the clouds, the scene is truly unparalleled. Paul Signac beautifully captured this moment in his painting, "The Storm," housed at the Annonciade Museum."

Joanne, Airbnb Review
Frederique was an amazing guide! Well educated in art history, which is an important aspect of life on San Tropez. But being a lifelong local, she was also well-versed in the history, customs and traditions of the area. And finally, she was fun!
