Antibes and Picasso
Picasso today! A train ride from Nice Ville to Antibes. Madame Agnes Dumartin accompanied us on this trip to Antibes and the Picasso museum. Madame Dumartin gave a walking tour of Antibes before the museum tour. We
walked on old cobblestones, saw unique doors, caught glimpses of the sea as we walked past small openings.
At the museum, we were forbidden to take photos in the museum. We saw Picasso art work and photos taken of him while he worked. I also saw a photo of Françoise Gilot, Picasso's 21 year old muse while he was 63, talk about a May/December. This is my second trip to Nice, and I can see why Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, and others came to this area to live. To me, the sun has a different brightness which would lift any mood and get those creative juices flowing. Chicago is a proud owner of a Picasso sculpture.
We were free to walk around Antibes, shop in the market (Marché), and on your own for lunch. Some took the train back to Nice with Agnes. I walked around Antibes, purchased some gifts, and had some lunch. The tour guide was there to take us back to Nice after a good amount of free time.
We were on our own for dinner.
