Villa Tamaris, Contemporary art centre in La Seyne-sur-Mer, France

Villa Tamaris is a contemporary art centre in La Seyne-sur-Mer, housed in a two-storey building with a pale yellow facade and a rough stone base. Three round arches with balustrades open onto the ground floor, and three tall windows with blue shutters sit above them. A projecting section has a balustraded balcony, and a plaque on the right reads "TAMARIS".

Villa Tamaris is a contemporary art centre in La Seyne-sur-Mer, not a 19th-century summer residence. Its permanent collection includes works by Georges Autard, Nicolas Carrega, Claude-Jean Darmon, Gérard Titus-Carmel, Claude-Henry Pollet and Jean-Pierre Giacobazzi. It has hosted retrospectives of Eugène Baboulène (2000–2001) and Jean-Pierre Le Boul'ch (2005–2006), a 2010 Lettrisme exhibition curated by Roland Sabatier, Yann Arthus-Bertrand's LEGACY in 2021 and Marc Riboud's L'Œil du voyageur in 2025.

The building carries a plaque reading "TAMARIS" on its right side, and its pale yellow facade with blue shutters and round-arched ground floor is what visitors see first. Inside, the centre shows contemporary art, with permanent holdings including works by Georges Autard, Nicolas Carrega, Claude-Jean Darmon, Gérard Titus-Carmel, Claude-Henry Pollet and Jean-Pierre Giacobazzi.

Villa Tamaris stands in La Seyne-sur-Mer, not in Les Sables-d'Olonne. Visitors enter past the pale yellow facade with its three round-arched openings and blue-shuttered windows; the plaque reading "TAMARIS" marks the projecting right-hand section. The galleries occupy the two storeys, so allow time to move between floors.
