Musée Picasso is an art museum devoted to the works of Pablo Picasso. It is located in Antibes in…read morethe beautiful Chateau Grimaldi, which has a great seaside location. Not just housing Picasso's works, it also was his home for six months in 1946. I liked my experience at this museum, though I would attribute it more to its idyllic location than the art content. I did like many of the Picasso sculptures housed here, but found the overall collection on the slight side if you are looking to see a large number of Picasso pieces here. This was evident as the museum supplemented the space with pieces from other artists. I do think it is worth a visit if you are doing a day trip to Antibes. There is a public market (Marche Provencal) nearby that would make for a good place to visit before or after the museum.

I can't wait to wear my very own scent, designed and named by me!

It now hosts collections belong to the city of Cannes with primitive arts from the Himalayas, Tibet, the Artic, pre-Columbian America, Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The museum has a medieval tower that offers a 360 degree view - if you want to climb 109 steps! In my humble opinion, it really is worth it, even for those of us who don't like heights! I think we paid about 12€ each to go into the museum, which I think, for the view alone, was worth it. The museum is pretty small, so I wouldn't allocate more than an hour to it - unless you're a really, really big history buff and can understand French. All the info was in French, so it made it a bit hard for us to really enjoy it as much as I would've another museum. Still, it was nice to walk around and take a look at the historical artifacts that they had on display.

The prefix is definitely the way to go. Pair it with a nice bottle of wine and you are set. The food was not your standard French fair; it was more of a fusion of different cuisines but they pull it off beautifully. The Socca was cooked perfectly. The melon and prosciutto were a great combination of savory and sweet. But the star of my meal was the Asian inspired beef with noodles; cooked and seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of sauce and saltiness. It was glorious, not much else I can add. For dessert, just get the mousse. Trust me, you won't regret it. Overall, it was a super meal in a great location and with a wonderful staff. Would go back in a heartbeat.

I was initially weary of the fusion concept but it was perfectly executed and really made sense in terms of the this area. French, Italian and Asian cuisine come together in perfect harmony at L'Eponyme. Both hubby and I got the very reasonable 30 Euro prix fix. Appetizers were amazing. The socca layer cake was delicate and flavorful with roasted peppers and cheese holding it together. The melon with prosciutto and mozzarella was simple yet delicious. For our main courses the Cod was perfectly cooked with citrus and herbs to balance out the flavor. Fish was fresh as can be. The beef and noodles dish was a hit, with the juiciest most tender pieces of meat seasoned in a lovely Asian sauce. The accompanying noodles were the perfect texture. Even the dessert was spectacular. I loved my Toblerone mousse. It brought on some nice nostalgia from childhood. The strawberry crumble was heavy on the fresh strawberries and came with an amazing strawberry sorbet sprinkled with a few bits of crumble. This was the perfect meal to start of our vacation in the south of France!
