In Hyères Rue Massillon goes from Place Clemenceau and ends in Place Massillon. The slick stone street is something I’ve never seen in an old village. Usually there are cobble stones.

The street is filled with local shops that sell soap, and olives, and herbes, and of course ice cream shops. There are artists studios. And clothing stores

What is unusual about this town is there are no international franchises on the main Street in the historic center. It’s all local shops. It’s authentic.

A few of my paintings will be available in the gallery Massillon starting in November.

In Hyères here is a University of Free Time with lots of conferences about art. Look at the video to discover the program

This is place Massillon, in Hyères. Hyères is an artist’s village. The whole town is populated by design and art ateliers.

Hyères was where Queen Victoria came. I wonder what she liked to eat. The olives are wonderful. Maybe she bought soap here or salt that was made in the salins des Pesquiers

Place Massillon is filled with restaurants. From the templier tower the view of the rooftops is to die for.

Rue de Temple is one of the main streets where the art ateliers are. Below is a video that will show you the town and give an idea about the artists’ ateliers.

I love this Haussmannian building. It’s on the corner of rue Monge. There is a bakery in it on the street level and it is across from a middle school and the Metro stop Censier Daubenton.

I guess like most of you I’m wondering where all this is going. Life is one crazy place right now. What better thing to do than paint a can of smelly sardines? It definitely brought my mind to full concentration. I had to finish the illustration in order to remove this smelly thang.

They smelled to high heaven. My studio was permeated by the time I finished sketching them.

But the illustration doesn’t wreak. It’s collectable and Pop. It’s a great gift.
