Musée Faure
A small but outstanding museum in a Genoese-style villa, with Impressionist paintings and Rodin sculptures. It is one of France's two largest collections of Rodin works.
The museum is housed in the Villa Chimère, once the residence of collector Jean Faure. It displays Impressionist paintings by Degas, Pissarro, Sisley, and Cézanne, along with dozens of Rodin sculptures and drawings. The top floor recreates the room Lamartine occupied in Aix-les-Bains. The galleries are compact, and you can see everything in about an hour. Admission is about 5 euros. It is usually closed on Tuesdays and is about a 10-minute walk from the city center.
Opening hours
Wed–Mon ~10:00–12:00 & 13:30–18:00 (check official website)
