Gabriel Abrantes, Limbo

In the seasonal exhibition hall, this fall's display is dedicated to Maria Bárbola, a dwarf in the court of Philip IV, one of the characters in Diego Velázquez's painting Las Meninas. The oil on canvas on display (1539X1085) belongs to the former Angladon-Dubrujeaud collection. It is a 19th-century copy based on Velázquez (Seville 1599-Madrid 1660).

The word “menino,” of Portuguese origin, referred in Spain to a young page, usually from a noble family, who entered the service of the king, princes, and great lords to perform simple tasks in palatine ceremonies. The “meninas” were ladies-in-waiting to the princesses and the queen. The presence of dwarfs among the servants was very common during the reign of Philip IV. Richly dressed, they often became their masters' confidants, and sometimes their accomplices, which allowed them to obtain quite exceptional favors and enjoy great familiarity with the ladies and lords of the court.

Seasonal exhibition: Portrait of Maria Barbola

While the Vouland Museum in Martel will be focusing on Martel in 2026 and 2027, this first semester Eugène Martel (1869-1947) is surrounded by 19 other artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, offering constantly renewed perspectives on Provence.

Summer and winter alike, a blanket of white persists at the summit of Mont Ventoux. This giant is our Provençal Mount Fuji. At its feet, countless springs flow silently, emerging here and there.
Some are well known: Fontaine de Vaucluse and the Groseau spring.
Joël-Claude Meffre, poet and archaeologist, and Ji Dahai, painter and calligrapher, visited around twenty of them in a year. Ji Dahai sketched each of these springs in his notebooks, using ink and brush, capturing them as he saw them. Joël-Claude Meffre searched the sources of his words for the words that would be heard. It was in Brantes, after the last visit, that the word “resurgence” emerged as the key.

Madeleine Lemaire (1845–1928), French painter, pastel artist, engraver, and illustrator, made her debut at the 1864 Salon. Her works, including portraits and floral compositions, are part of the Musée d'Orsay's collections.
During the Belle Époque, the artist held a musical and literary salon where writers, musicians, actors, and actresses gathered. Among others, Robert de Montesquiou and Marcel Proust frequented the salon.
Madeleine Lemaire illustrated Marcel Proust's collection Les Plaisirs et les Jours, published in 1896 by Calmann-Lévy, with her floral watercolors.

Today, La Chartreuse is also a major artists' residence....

The Chartreuse, Villeneuve lez Avignon  

On Mont Andaon, Fort Saint André was commissioned by Philippe IV le Bel and built under Jean II le Bon in the 14th century. This immense 750-meter-long fortification, built to protect the Abbey of Saint André and the town, enabled the King of France to assert his power in the region.

From Avignon, on the other side of the Rh&ocirc;ne and from even farther away, you can clearly see the fort standing proudly. But it is only once you are there&nbsp; that you can fully appreciate&nbsp; the strategic position&nbsp;of this fort dominating the Rh&ocirc;ne valley. From the top of its parapet walk, you can observe the Popes &#39;s Palace across the way, the Philippe IV le Bel tower, the saint Andr&eacute; abbey encompassed within the fort&#39;s defensive&nbsp; walls,&nbsp;the chartreuse&#39;s monastery in the village below and the entire surroundings countryside.&nbsp;

You can walk among the vestiges of the old medieval village and the chapel, visit the fort&#39;s buildings and rooms that have remained intact and learn about the aspects of military life from the Middle Ages up to the french revolution.

Fortress of Saint André, Villeneuve lez Avignon 

Awarded the "Remarkable Garden" label in 2014, the abbey's gardens unfold between the remains of Romanesque churches and 6th-century tombs: Mediterranean plants, olive trees and century-old pines....
In the 2 hectares of gardens, it's rare to discover so many remarkable species (111 listed) and historical relics. A succession of atmospheres to explore: Tuscan, Provençal, romantic, mineral... along a walk where it's good to recharge your batteries.
On the heights of Mont Andaon, these balcony gardens offer a panoramic view of Avignon's Popes'Palace.

From a plot of vines to a few hectares, the adventure accelerated. In 1986, he embarked on his winegrowing adventure with the creation of his own estate in Cucuron, which he naturally named La Cavale...

Hôtel 1770**** & Spa

The Maison Jean Vilar is a place for remembering, transmitting and inventing the work of Jean Vilar and popular theater.
Jean Vilar passed away in 1971. It immediately seemed necessary to collect documents relating to his work, those of the Théâtre National Populaire when he was its director (1951-63), and those of the Avignon Festival as a whole, which he created in 1947.
On the initiative of Paul Puaux, his closest collaborator and successor as director of the Festival d'Avignon (1971-79), the Association Jean Vilar was founded in 1972.
A joint effort by the Association, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the City of Avignon led to the certainty of the importance of a house dedicated to Jean Vilar and to reflection on today's world of the performing arts.
In 1979, with the city's acquisition of the Hôtel de Crochans, the Maison Jean Vilar became a place for exhibitions, archives and research, as well as a venue for meetings and events in keeping with the spirit of popular theater today. This project is part of a quadripartite agreement between the City of Avignon, the French Ministry of Culture, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Association Jean Vilar.
