Nestled on the hills of Vence, surrounded by 13 hectares of fragrant Mediterranean gardens, Château Saint-Martin & Spa, an Oetker Collection Masterpiece Hotel with Palace distinction, has always nurtured close ties with art and culture. Hailing from the region, world-renowned artist Agnès Sandahl has found inspiration in the hotel’s unique spirit and is exhibiting a remarkable collection of her paintings and ceramic works in the gallery this season.

The French Riviera’s creative heritage and the artists who have spent time in the neighbouring village of Saint-Paul de Vence — names like Picasso, Braque and Cocteau — were the inspiration behind Agnès Sandahl’s rich colour palette employed across the exhibition, and one that perfectly reflects the hotel’s Provencal ambience. Warm hues combining nuances of Terracotta with oranges evoking solar luminosity are blended throughout with a distinctive touch of modernity.

Agnès Sandahl’s paintings and large-scale ceramic plates intermingle in a dialogue of dazzling colours that invite the viewer into the artist’s abstract universe as they meander the hotel’s 100-square-metre Art Gallery.

Guests will also be able to enjoy the artist’s ceramic works while dining at the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant Le Saint-Martin, where a collection of entirely handmade, one-of-a-kind plates decorate the tables.

Château Saint-Martin & Spa invites resident guests on an exclusive visit to the Agnès Sandahl gallery in the heart of Vallauris, the Riviera’s historic pottery village. In this authentic setting, guests will enjoy a private tour, followed by a ceramics or painting workshop led by none other than Agnès Sandahl herself.

A truly unique opportunity to absorb the passion and knowledge of a profoundly gifted artist.
