The Henri-Matisse museum reopens in the North: welcome to a legendary painter!

Following in the footsteps of Henri Matisse (1869-1954) usually means strolling on the Riviera, walking under the palm trees, looking for the scents of lavender, wandering the streets of old Nice and the hill of Cimiez in search of the different addresses the painter under an azure blue sky that he painted through windows behind which his odalisques lounge. Dolce vita, luxury, calm and voluptuousness. So, this Tuesday morning in November, in the cold wind that whips, along the identical red brick facades aligned on straight streets like a border of the country ch’ti, we wonder what Matisse is doing there.
