<\/p>\nKnown for its vibrant light and colour, the town of Le Cannet located in the north of Cannes on the Cote d\u2019Azur has long attracted artists to its quaint and narrow streets.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many a renowned artist has propped their easel in this enchanting town, including Theo Tobiasse, whose work infused the themes of exile and motherhood, and Pierre Bonnard, the French painter and impressionist who was a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters known as Les Nabis.<\/p>\n
Le Cannet\u2019s Old Town is awash with fascinating artistic features that pay homage to the strong artistic heritage of the town. The Wedding Hall in Le Cannet\u2019s Town Hall is brought alive by five works of the celebrated painter Emmanuel Bellini.<\/p>\n
One townhouse in Le Cannet\u2019s Old Town boasts a mural by Raymond Paynet of a newlywed couple flying over the Garden of Eden, the bride\u2019s veil held up by cherubs. Known as \u2018The Lover\u2019s Wall\u2019, the striking fresco is an ode to newly married couples.<\/p>\n
An unmissable activity when visiting this captivating town is walking to the town\u2019s only public square. \u2018Place Bellevue\u2019 sits at the top of Rue St. Sauveur, which can be found in the Old Town.<\/p>\n
One of the best ways to enjoy the unrivalled views Le Cannet enjoys stretching out towards the Bay of Canne and the Lerins Islands, is to dine on the restaurant or caf\u00e9 terraces that line the charming Place Bellevue.<\/p>\n
Such is Le Cannet\u2019s poignant artistic presence that the town has been given the accolade of being a \u2018Villes et Metiers d\u2019Art\u2019, an Art Trade town.<\/p>\n
