Located in Porquerolles, in the heart of a national park, Villa Carmignac welcomes the public each year to discover contemporary art exhibitions, a sculpture garden classified as a "Remarkable Garden" and a cultural program.

About

The Fondation Carmignac, created in 2000 on the initiative of Édouard Carmignac, welcomes the public to Porquerolles, a Mediterranean forest on the open sea.
In the midst of an exceptional national park, visitors will discover contemporary works of art from the Carmignac collection, temporary exhibitions, a sculpture garden and a cultural program.

The island is not an insignificant choice: "As in any myth or voyage of initiation, the crossing to the island is always a double movement, one physical, the other mental. In the words of its Director, Charles Carmignac, "It's about crossing over to the other shore.

Arriving on the island, visitors will discover a Provençal farmhouse, blending into the landscape. Inside, volumes expand to reveal 2,000 m2 of exhibition space. Natural light, filtered through an aquatic ceiling, illuminates the spaces hidden beneath the surface.
Outside, a 15-hectare "remarkable garden" designed by landscape architect Louis Benech is home to a series of works inspired by the site.

In order to offer a privileged contact with the works, the number of visitors is limited to 50 people per half-hour.
Tickets should be reserved on the Fondation Carmignac website: www.fondationcarmignac.com

For the visit, bring soft shoes to visit the gardens, and take them off to visit the building.
Exhibitions are best viewed barefoot.
