This privately run gallery is the best place to get a feel for post-war art in the south of France.

Set in the countryside above the Riviera, the real star is the building. Designed by Catalan architect Josep Lluís Sert, the single-story gallery is set around a courtyard peopled by Alberto Giacometti sculptures, and crowned with rooftop arrangements like nuns’ cowls, which help to suffuse the rooms with light.

Artworks are skilfully integrated into the building and gardens, including a labyrinth by Joan Miró and mosaics by Marc Chagall.
