Discover the CAB Foundation Saint-Paul de Vence
A showcase of creativity nestled in the heart of the Côte d'Azur
Located in Saint-Paul de Vence, the CAB Foundation is dedicated to minimal and conceptual art.
Housed in a 1950s building meticulously renovated by architect Charles Zana, it offers immersion in a pure, modern artistic universe.
Its Mediterranean garden, Jean Prouvé's Maison Démontable and thematic exhibitions make it a unique space for art and design lovers.
You can extend the experience by enjoying a meal on site, or even stay in one of its exceptional guest rooms.

History of the CAB Foundation
Between passion and transmission!
Created in 2021 in Saint-Paul de Vence, the CAB Foundation extends the mission of its Brussels-based parent company, opened in 2012 by Hubert Bonnet.
This passionate collector draws his inspiration from constructivism and minimal art to share a refined aesthetic with as many people as possible.
Thanks to meticulous renovations, the Foundation is perfectly in tune with the region's artistic and cultural heritage.
