La Saint-André des Arts

Art Gallery

Set in the beautiful converted former riding school of a 17th-century abbey and farm, a 30-minute drive inland from Le Touquet, La Saint-André des Arts is now a unique and permanent painting exhibition space where they also regularly present jazz, classical and Celtic music concerts.

Kassape Sanson

A beautiful seaside spot laden with history, Le Crotoy has attracted artists for centuries. Names like Colette, Sisley and Seurat have graced its scenic shores. To this day the place is a magnet for artists and there’s an active informal ‘colony’ of artists that work regularly in the town and open their studios for visitors, just over 40 minutes by car from Le Touquet. Kassape Sanson is a self-taught local artist who paints expansive and haunting seascapes of the Baie de Somme, taking inspiration from her native land and the people who live and work there.

Galerie de Rosana

Rosana de Paula Cessac is a Brazilian-born artist who thrives in her adopted home of Le Crotoy, giving her own colourful naïf interpretation to the local landscape.
