Musee Paul Valery

The museum building follows Courbousier architectural principles and contains over 700 paintings alongside a thousand drawings in its permanent collection.

The institution, completed in the 1970s by architect Guy Guillaume, houses collections featuring nineteenth and twentieth-century artists including Courbet, Marquet, and Dufy.

The museum exhibits works from the Montpellier-Sète group and the Figuration Libre movement, representing different periods of regional artistic expression.

Located on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the museum operates Tuesday through Sunday with regular admission at €9.90 and reduced rates available.

The museum's terrace provides views of the sailor's cemetery, the harbor entrance, and maintains gardens used for open-air events and poetry readings.
