The southern French town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence has long been a haven for artists. Fernand Léger, Picasso, and Calder once had filet mignon and wine at La Colombe d’Or, the restaurant and guest house that is now filled to the brim with their masterpieces. Today, contemporary artists are moving into the tranquil hills around the fortressed town. Among them are Arik Levy and his wife, Zoé Ouvrier. After decades living in Paris, the couple purchased a two-story house surrounded by 1.2 acres of land. Levy creates Mercury designs and “Rock” sculptures out of mirror-polished stainless steel. Ouvrier works with plywood, engraving it to re-create the limbs and lives of trees. Once the couple settled in, they installed works of art outdoors and opened the grounds to the public. Tucked away among olive and cyprus trees, the sculpture park is a perfect stop on a sunny afternoon. —Elena Clavarino
