Southern charm

"Time lasts a long time and life surely more than a million years. And always in summer," sang Nino Ferrer in 1975.

These words still ring true today as they convey the charm and welcoming ambiance that emanates from the South of France. Our artists, whether they have settled there or have only been there for a short time, marvelously illustrate the known and unknown treasures of this European paradise.

This week, we're feeling a bit sentimental and proud as we present a selection of works celebrating the beauty of Southern France, through those who paint, draw and live it.
