The Marina Artists team has been working hard lately - those Riviera Home Finders agents are selling as if there is no credit crunch (Crisis? what crisis...)!! My colleague David Prince just sold this great villa, with stunning views, just outside the great village of Vence... Apart from sunny views and a lovely authentic old centre, Vence is a very cultural place: it has 22 Ateliers (you can visit them and see the artists at work) and 12 Galleries (maybe even more- but 12 I know for sure). One of them is galerie Chave, the oldest gallery in Vence. It was founded by Alphonse Chave in 1947 and it has work of impressive guys like Marx Ernst, Man Ray, Fred Deux and Slavko Kopac. It is a symbol for “Art Brut”... Then Vence has a museum, in the Rue Grande, and, last but not least, the splendid Fondation Maeght: a private museum that has a stunning permanent collection of modern and contemporary art. There is a Giacometti courtyard, a Miró labyrinth and ceramics and mural mosaics by Chagall. The pool and a stained glass window are made by Braque and there is so much more.. of course they also have temporary exhibitions. In short - a good place for the body as well as the mind... If you want to be close to the arts - choose to live in Vence. And if you are seriously interested in a house like the above, you can contact us! At RHF we'll take care of everything you need where properties are concerned...
