Musee Faure, Aix-les-Bains

Nice museum with 3 floors, the first more about history, the second on Impressionism, and the highest floor on Rodin, sculptures, and ceramics. The place contains quite a lot of art despite being relatively small, and you can probably spend over an hour inside. The staff at the counter will store your bags for free before you enter. The Impressionist painters featured are not your typical big names (except for a few Pissarros and one Cezanne), but are quite interesting nevertheless. Note that the explanations on the first floor are only in French, and for the other 2 floors, there are no explanations beside each piece, only 1 general one (in both French and English) for the whole floor. Worth going if you’re in the area.

It is a gem to visit in the center of Aix les Bains, Haute-Savoie. House Museum which contains a permanent exhibition of Rodin sculptures and impressionist paintings.

A visit to the abbey of Hautecombe, flamboyant Gothic style, not to be missed, is recommended! Inside the tombs of many members of the House of Savoy and also the last King of Italy with his wife ..
