About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée Bonnard in Le Cannet, above Cannes, starts with a small object: the pocket diaries Pierre Bonnard filled with pencil from nineteen twenty-seven to nineteen forty-six. It follows the daily habit behind them, from the weather notes at his villa Le Bosquet to Marthe, his wife and model, drawn again and again with her back to him. Listen near The Dining Room at Le Cannet if it is on display.
