This stunning and eminently manageable museum showcases France's finest collection of sculptures and paintings outside of Paris, from antiquity onwards. Highlights include works by Rodin, Monet and Picasso. Download the free audio guide app in advance (via the website) and be sure to stop for a drink or meal on the delightful stone terrace of its cafe-restaurant or take time out in its tranquil cloister garden.
