Are you going on a cultural trip this weekend?

What museum are you going to do this weekend? It's the perfect way to learn, discover and expand your horizons. The Loisirs Côte d'Azur team will help you choose the museum that best suits your needs.

The French Riviera is full of museums to visit. Fans of art and history will be delighted. How to choose among all the museums? Our Loisirs Côte d'Azur team also has a hard time defining its favorites, but we have to make a choice. Our preferences go to the MAMAC, the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, the Marc Chagall Museum, and the Matisse Museum. All of them are located in a beautiful city, we advise you to combine the visit of the museum with a walk in the old town, a picnic on the beach ....

Museums are accessible to the youngest, workshops and animations are available in most of our selection. A nice way to discover art and open their horizons while learning. Children will love going to the museum!

Did you know that some of the villas on the French Riviera are museums? The Loisirs Côte d'Azur team has a preference for the jewel of the coast, we named the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Former residence of the Baroness Beatrice, the interior of the villa and its gardens are worth a visit. The apartments of the mistress of the house have been transformed into a museum, while its garden offers you a journey through the world.

After visiting the selection of museums and villas of the Loisirs Côte d'Azur team, the historical places are also to be done. Go back in time with the visits of the castles. Become the new king or queen by entering the castle of Mouans-Sartoux or the castle of La Napoule. Visit places of worship like the Abbey of Thoronet or the cloister of the cathedral. You will surely find your happiness in the selection of the Loisirs Côte d'Azur team.
