La Malmaison
Art exhibition space in the last remaining part of the old Grand Hotel
La Malmaison used to be a part of the original 19th century 'grand dame' hotel - the Grand Hotel - which was demolished and then rebuilt in 1963.
Originally built in 1863 by the architects Vianey and Blondel, the Malmaison wing is the only remaining part of the hotel and was turned into a gallery in 1945.
It has since gone from strength to strength, regularly exhibiting paintings by Matisse, Picasso, Miro and Cesar. Three major exhibitions of contemporary art and photography are shown every year.
When to come
It is open throughout the year, except for its annual closure in May and June to set up new exhibitions.
