For our last few days in France we booked a delicious airbnb in Le Rouret, about an hour away from Cannes. It’s run by a sweet creative couple and absolutely adorable! If you ever need a calm and relaxing place to stay there, I recommend them!
The weather was changeable but sunny and cool most of the time, and I sketched the view from our little terrace as I watched the clouds in the evenings…
We visited the picturesque artist town of St Paul de Vence, and saw Chagall’s grave and wandered in the pretty cobbled streets. Then had a cup of tea in a local cafe and I loved the pink walls and gold lettering on the doors…
We spent a wonderful time in the little Musee Bonnard in Le Cannet, where there was a special exhibition of Felix Vallotton woodcuts. I was inspired by Bonnard’s paintings set in the town.
I really enjoyed sketching out in the open, it’s been a while, and experimenting with different materials and paper. Every day there was something marvellous to see and I wanted to capture it all.
It has been an incredible 3 weeks, and I can’t believe it’s already over!
