A place of cultural events
In the headline
In October, the Château de Simiane will be welcoming Jean-Michel Barrière from 6 to 28 October. His paintings reflect the events of his life, with a focus on travel and distant lands, but also on “the great south”, the region between the Baronnies, the Rhône, the Pre-Alps and the Mediterranean. Between figurative and abstract, a painting for everyone.
