Galerie du Cygne – St Tropez

Galerie du Cygne St Tropez opened in June 2001 and is open for the Summer months of June to September. Opening hours are 10h00 to 12h00 and again 17h00 to 20h00.
 
The Gallery is staffed and run by our resident Artists and we invite new Artists to apply for the 2012 Summer season.

The Galerie is to be found nestled under the walls of the ruins of the castle in the old village of Grimaud, St.Tropez and has wonderful views of the coastline and sea from the piazza outside. It was originally a stables housing the goats, sheep and rabbits in the village until it was restored by us into an artist’s studio and gallery.

The gallery is managed by Stephen Lack
