Matisse and Chagall Museums

I’ve been sailing around the Mediterranean for the last few weeks. Yesterday my little ship docked in Nice. It’s been quite hot and sunny so I decided to spend the afternoon at the Matisse and Chagall Museums which are close to each other and air conditioned. 
Both were worth a visit and highly recommended.

Matisse…incredible.

The brown and tan piece over the reception desk (Océanie - La Mer (Oceania - The Sea)), is one of my favorites. 

Chagal?…I never understood the appeal.

and Nice has a very active Eagle and a dozen other gay bars, many with strippers, in the Old City. 

Just to the west of central Nice, Renoir's house at Cagnes-sur-Mer is also a museum.  Small rotating collection but I remember a painting in his son's room by the window of the sea view it was painted from. Stayed one night at a fine Indigo hotel down the street from it.

I didn’t make it to any gay bars in Nice but I did see Chagall’s grave in St Paul de Vence.
