Bastide du Roy Golf Club Café de la Poste artwork has grown more and more popular, and in 2008 one of his paintings sold for almost 40 million dollars. You can’t miss the museum, the bright colours that Leger is famous for can be seen from far away as the sun glints on the mosaic’d façade - 45,000 pieces of marble and enamel, created from a design by Leger to decorate the entrance of the Hanover Stadium 6 months before his death. Inside are multiple works of art - cubist, ‘tubist’ (his own form of cubism) abstract masterpieces. Even if you’re not a fan of modern art, this place is impressive, and you can trace the evolution of his art from Impressionism through Cubism, vivid abstracts for which he’s best known, machinery and robot-like figures. You’ll find cubes, cogs, machines and mosaics, paintings and sculptures, including some created by his disciples - a dazzling tribute to the artist who wanted to “set colour free.” Locals love - Café de la Poste which opened in 1880. Fresh, seasonal produce and a fabulous terrace. Bastide du Roy Golf Club has a superb restaurant, and you can get a round in at the same time on the magnificent almost century old course. biot-tourisme.com/en 28 | The Good Life France The Good Life France | 29
