Musee Paul Valery

I enjoyed my visit to this beautiful museum. Excelkwction of art as well as the special exposition. The museum is perched above an historic and well-maintained cemetary and has a view of the sea.

A nice art museum on the hill in Sète. Interesting exhibition about the multifaceted Paul Valery. Even better was the temporary exhibition of Philippe Cognée. A nice retreat during our vacation!

A small but great collection! The space is nice and calm, with a lovely view of the sea.

Well worth a stroll up the hill on a cooler day. A beautiful collection, and welcoming staff. The first Sunday of every month is free to visitors

Excellent visitor experience. Some of the artwork on display was very thought-provoking. There are some interesting sculptures in the Grounds before you enter the museum itself.

Great gallery with good cafe at the entrance! We were pleased to see the Martial Raysse exhibition which is on until 5 November.

Good exhibitions, but much of the floorspace is devoted to the paintings of various artists, and there’s limited information on the life of Paul Valéry outside of his experiences in occupied Paris. In some respects, I learned more from my guide book (e.g. Valéry’s intense interest in contemporary scientific inquiry) than from the museum! Nevertheless, what there is on the poet is well presented and the main exhibition when I visited (Philippe Cognée) was interesting

What a great Combas collection. Thoroughly enjoyed la musee.
