Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Yup.
Hello there!
Plenty of interesting, intriguing, provocative or simply beautiful art in the many galleries around town. Unfortunately I couldn't find the author - or the title - of this one.
Go, Julian!
Avenue de la Condamine, between Col d'Èze and Col des 4 chemins. There's only one Julian :-)

A hairy faun head in Picasso's museum in Antibes. This is IMHO one of the best paintings there.
Nature morte a la sole et aux trois oursins
Most of the drawings/paintings in the Picasso Museum are like this. Maybe I don't get art, but I have dozens of very similar drawings from my kids.
Satyr, Faun and Centaur with Trident
There is something lovable about these guys.
La Joie de Vivre
This is (apparently) a parody of Matisse's work with the same name. I, however, have troubles seeing the resemblance...

Well... But I am now getting more curious about that man pouring paint over his head - I spotted the same guy in Théoule ;-)

L'île Sainte-Marguerite
Carpobrotus, also known as (according to Wikipedia) pigface, ice plant, sour fig, and Hottentot fig. To me it is just a very very pretty succulent.

Rue Grande in Valbonne. A lovely stroll in rain before a delicious dinner.
Valbonne
Another lovely street in the "Manhattan" of Valbonne.

Place de l'Église in Biot
Did they start in 1685 and finish in 1686? It surely looks like it.
Place de l'Église in Biot
Fleur-de-lis in Place de l'Église. They didn't even try to make it symmetric, did they?

Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Biot
A very interesting church as you have to walk down to enter it. But there is a limited amount of asymmetry I can handle - and a main entrance that is off is just too off for me :-)

I actually don't know what or who his is, but he surely looks scared. Or scary.
