It is a large Provencal residence surrounded by forty hectares of nature, in Tourtour in Haut-Var. Bernard Buffet's installation in this house opens the last period of his life. More isolated than before, Buffet spends most of his time in this property. The painter deeply loves his house, he feels good there and wants to spend time there. His wife Annabel says: “Bernard attaches extreme importance to the place where we live for the simple reason that he practically never leaves it. Work and leisure are concentrated in this place. Only there, he is truly himself. Extremely sensitive, Bernard seems to have found refuge in this exceptional place, where far from a world which confronts him with violence, he can reconnect with his passion for painting, with his taste for a quiet life, particularly in his research. . of serenity.
