Maison de la France celebrates Picasso’s life on the Riviera
 |
| Florence Lecointre, Suzanne Zurn-Seiller, Bernadette Marchand | | A huge collection of the paintings by the artist Pablo Picasso will be on display in major exhibitions around the Cote d’Azur starting from spring 2009. Tourism reps for the Cote d’Azur (French Riviera) were in Vancouver to promote the specially created “Picasso en Provence Cote d’Azur” itinerary, devoted to the famous artist. The itinerary heads from the west to the east of Provence, according to the dates Picasso was in that particular area. On offer are themed stays, and visits to museums and places of significance to the artist, including the abodes of his muses/partners. At the same time, visitors can also check out “La Cote d’Azur des Peintres”, an itinerary following in the footsteps of other famous painters in the French Riviera.

American Safari delays entrance into Hawaii cruise market until U.S. economy improves
