It was during this period, which lasts almost 22 years, he painted his most inspired paintings, whose specialists agree that they are his best works.

Bonnard Museum is located in a beautiful Belle Epoque building of the twentieth century "Hotel Saint-Vianney". The duo of architects, Frédéric Ferrero and Sylvie Rossi has succeeded, with contemporary extensions to the image of the work that they honor. Subtle and bright, an ode to the Mediterranean;
