Antibes, South of France.
Antibes is in the Cote D'Azur. A beautiful old town on the coast. It is the place to go if you want to look at amazing sailing boats in the harbour.
For me however it was the Musee Picasso, which is an art museum with 150 works of art by Picasso, and also art by a number of other artists. The museum is in the Chateau Grimaldi, which was built in the 12th century.
Picasso lived there and found the light and peace of the area particularly beneficial to painting, which is why he was so prolific during this period.
My favourite picture was a lively yellow painting of rather cheerful looking goats. Called Tete de faune en spirale avec trois figures marginales, which was produces in October 1946. I wasn't able to take any pictures of the paintings as it is not allowed, however you were allowed to take photos of the sculptures outside which is what accompanies this blog.
