La Colombe d'Or hotel and restaurant in the South of France is known all over the world as a privileged place where the Proven art de vivre goes hand in hand with an astonishing private COLLECTION of modern art. First opened in 1920 as Chez Robinson. a cafe-bar with an open-air terrace. it quickly became a very popular meeting place and expanded into a small hotel and restaurant. The friendly atmosphere together with owner Paul Roux�and his deep interest in the arts attracted many artists of the day. and the walls were soon covered by paintings. often exchanged for a stay or a few meals. The next generation of the Roux family continues to care for the Colombe d'Or. and the art COLLECTION is still growing today.
