Crossing the paths of Provence, art and nature combine… The contemporary art centre of Châteauvert gives us a moment for a walk and a dream between temporary exhibition, library and the sculptures dwelling in the garden. Following the pace of Argens, the art centre makes the contemporary creation flow over with beat time for discoveries and exchanges. Projects bloom with exhibitions and artists residencies.
