Tessa & Nigel, +20 years of experience

We were married at The Larmer Tree in Wiltshire, England, in May 2003 and moved to Seillans the following week. After meeting at Nigel's gallery in Wimborne, Dorset, our dream project was to open an art gallery in the south of France. The property was an empty shell; we completely renovated it and thoroughly enjoyed hunting for furniture in local flea markets.
As visitors wander through the sculpture garden in the Var sunshine and admire Tessa's paintings displayed in the exceptional gallery, Nigel and Tessa are delighted to have turned their dream of a new life in France into reality. Our gallery is a lively place with regular exhibitions, often on a particular theme. It is a place where art can be discovered and appreciated in a bright 90 m2 gallery.
