In the footsteps of Marc Chagall
«I thank destiny for leading me to the shores of the Mediterranean.»
Marc Chagall lived in Saint-Paul from 1966 to 1985. During that time, he relentlessly incorporated the village and its ramparts into his paintings. Enveloped in the Mediterranean landscapes he found so fascinating, Marc Chagall painted love: couples in love and multi-coloured bouquets swirling above the village in an eternally serene sky. Public path along Chemin Sainte-Claire. Admire the very same landscapes that the artist would contemplate before capturing them on canvas. Your itinerary is punctuated by reproductions of three of the artist's paintings presented in display cases, a mosaic on a wall in the school playground, and the artist's grave.
Guided tour with a guide from the Tourist Information Office. Plunge into Marc Chagall's Mediterranean and Saint-Paul years, hear stories of his life in the village and learn about his paintings. Guided tours with reservation at the Tourist Information Office.
