Château de La Messardière

Step into the Musée de l’Annonciade, set inside a 16th-century chapel overlooking Saint-Tropez harbour, for an encounter with modern art shaped by Mediterranean light. This experience centres on a carefully curated collection featuring works by Matisse, Signac, Derain and Braque, artists drawn to the region for its colour and clarity.

Moving through the gallery reveals how Fauvism, Pointillism and the Nabis intersect within the village’s artistic story. The museum offers a quiet cultural interlude just moments from the waterfront, inviting reflection on how place and light influence artistic expression.

Visit a house-museum near Place des Lices, founded by painter Dany Lartigue and dedicated to the world of butterflies. This experience brings you face to face with nearly 35,000 specimens, including rare and endangered species, each displayed in glass cases set against hand-painted scenes by the artist himself.

The visit moves between art and science, revealing the detail, colour and fragility of these insects without spectacle or noise. Designed to engage visitors of all ages, the museum offers a calm pause from the Riviera’s pace, inviting slow observation and curiosity in an unexpected setting.

Walk through the preserved countryside of Le Château d’Estoublon, where vineyards and olive groves have been cultivated continuously since 1489. This estate experience centres on understanding how land, time and organic practice shape both wine and olive oil production. Spread across more than 200 hectares, the property follows a respectful approach to agriculture, with vines and olive trees protected under Appellation d’Origine Protégée standards.

As you move through the fields and groves, the focus remains on cultivation rather than consumption, revealing how each harvest reflects the character of the Provençal landscape. Bottling takes place on the estate, reinforcing a direct connection between soil, craft and final expression.
