★★★★★a week agoWonderful experience, the home is beautiful and well-preserved. It was so nice to walk around and feel the vibe and atmosphere, in the home and gardens. Many old photos of the family and some sculptures. There are quite a number of paintings, a few pieces of Renoir (there were at least 5) and other artists as well. So it is very nice for the art enthusiasts. Some amazing personal pieces, like his chair and easel. I'd also acknowledge the nice little souvenir shop, as I appreciate their variety and fair prices. Thank you! Would definitely recommend to any Impressionist lover, and Renoir in particular.

★★★★★Edited a year agoVery interesting museum. It was amazing to see the house where Renoir spent the last years of his life. We also liked to get to know a little more about his closest family. The garden with its enormous olive trees was fantastic 🤩 Be aware that it's closed on Tuesdays.
