On Monday, October 26, 2026, the launch of "Mon carnet aux musées Côte d’Azur" took place at the Matisse Museum, within the Villa and Gardens Ephrussi de Rothschild in Nice. This operation, led by Côte d’Azur France Tourisme, aims to make art and traditions accessible and encourage exploration of the territory's cultural treasures.
The Pays des Paillons region receives special attention through the spotlight on the Musée des Crèches de Lucéram among the participating museums.
“"Culture must spread, and this is also a way to start attracting visitors. When a traveler comes to our department, we must know how to welcome them with our gems, hence culture."
Alexandra Borchio Fontimp, Deputy President of Côte d’Azur France Tourisme, emphasized the importance of this initiative in disseminating culture from the moment tourists arrive. Christiane Blanc-Ricort, first deputy mayor of Lucéram and Community Councilor, represented the Vice-President for tourism promotion and territorial influence of the Paillons region, Jean Marc Rancurel. She praised this initiative, deeming it fundamental for the influence of rural communes and the awareness of new audiences.
“"The Côte d'Azur also includes our villages, the Middle Country, and the Paillons Valley. Thank you to Côte d’Azur France Tourisme for including the Lucéram museum and especially the small communes in their program."
"Mon carnet aux musées Côte d’Azur" invites residents and vacationers to discover the Musée des Crèches de Lucéram and the know-how of the Pays des Paillons until March 8, 2027. The list of participating museums in the Alpes-Maritimes is available online.
