Paint in Antibes and the Côte d’Azure with Lachlan Goudie ROI
A tutorial painting holiday in the South of France with a talented guest artist, ideal for intermediate students
The special light and the wonderful warm Mediterranean colours, as well as the old town of Antibes are what have appealed to artists over the years. Originally a small Greek trading port and a strategically important fortified outpost, Antibes is now a fashionable resort on the Côte d’Azure with a harbour full of expensive yachts.

Only Fort Carré and Avenue Amiral-de-Grasse remain of the 17th century ramparts, from where there are stunning views of the coastline towards Nice with the Alps rising in the background. Picturesque side streets adorned with flowers and the market place in Cours Masséna are ideal painting subjects, as well as the 16th century Château Grimaldi, where Picasso had a studio in 1946. The castle now houses the Musèe Picasso where many of the paintings and drawings he did during his time here can be seen here. The terrace garden of the Château has aromatic plants and statues by Germaine Richier and works by César, Miro, Pagès and Amado.
A short bus or taxi ride away is the verdant Cap d’Antibes. Discovered by Americans in the 1920’s, it soon became a favoured place for the rich and famous and remains so today. In the centre of Cap d’Antibes is the sanctuary of La Garoupe, an 18th century church and the Jardin Thuret with its collection of exotic plants and eucalyptus trees. 
There will be a day trip to Cap Ferrat to sketch in the gardens of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and fashionable Beaulieu.
