Picasso, King FM and Earthbound Expeditions

Join King FM and Earthbound Expeditions on an art lover’s journey to discover the life and passions of the 20th century’s greatest artist, Pablo Picasso! Your arts adventure is set to commence in Barcelona, where the young Picasso began his own remarkable journey. Enjoy a privately guided tour of the Picasso museum, dine in Pablo’s favorite cafes and discover works by Gaudí, Miró and Dalí. Then we are off to the south of France, where you’ll walk in Picasso’s footsteps and stay in the charming seaside village of Collioure. The gorgeous light and scenery found in the South of France lured painters such as Signac, Matisse, Chagall, Dufy, Mackintosh and Picasso. Continuing our search we head deep into Provence and visit the very places where the artist painted and lived. Admire the works by the only painter Pablo considered his personal master: Paul Cézanne. Our journey culminates as we tip our hat to Chagall and life long competitor Matisse. Wine tastings, world class art, towering hill towns, Roman ruins and Provençal markets are all included as together we relive the life and recreate the world of the 20th century’s greatest artists, Pablo Picasso!
