You may not have a chance to bump into Beyonc\u00e9, Jay-Z or Bono anymore, but you will be able to discover why Saint-Trop, as it is familiarly called, is more than ever worth a stay.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being a summer playground for the rich and famous, <strong>Saint-Tropez<\/strong> has for many decades been the <strong>home of a thriving artists\u2019 community and played an instrumental role in the careers of illustrious visual creators such as Henry Matisse and Pablo Picasso, Bernard Buffet and David \u00a0Hockney.<!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among all the artistic endeavors the town is popular for, one of the oldest and most unusual is the <strong>Maison des Papillons (Butterfly House)<\/strong>, which is incidentally celebrating its 20th anniversary this year until the end of October.

A chapel originally built in 1510, it underwent quite a few transformations before officially becoming a museum in 1955. Since then, the visitors have constantly delighted in its stunning paintings bursting with energy and colors. Some of Henri Manguin\u2019s earliest works are currently on display until October 8.<\/p>\n<p>Art lovers will also have the opportunity to indulge in their passion all over town as <strong>14 large-scale bronze and marble sculptures of renowned Czech artist Anna Chromy<\/strong> can be seen in prominent spots, while the small and medium-size works are showcased at Francesca Dona Fine Jewelry Art Gallery.
