Fondation Carmignac
At the heart of the protected site on the island of Porquerolles, just a 10-minute walk from the port, the Villa Carmignac is an art venue that hosts a temporary exhibition every year. To encourage a more intimate encounter with the works of art, the capacity is limited to 50 visitors per half-hour, and the spaces are to be visited barefoot. The visit is completed by a 15-hectare sculpture garden. Throughout the summer, the Villa Carmignac offers a programme of open-air cinema, music festivals, creative workshops and an exceptional late-night opening under the sign of the Full Moon.
