Infinitart 2015 When Pirosmani died in 1918 he was still relatively unknown but according to the German art historian Gottfried Boehm over time his life and works have come to symbolise a Georgian national identity following centuries of subjugation to different empires the show’s curator and artistic director of Fondation Vincent Van Gogh Arles first became aware of Pirosmani during a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts in Tbilisi where he was described to her as “the Douanier Rousseau of the East” “Pirosmani was not an avant-gardist,” Curiger says “He was a vagabond who painted directly for his commissioners What seems of interest today is exactly this direct relationship to an audience which made him paint his brilliant creations in a fast and concise painting style.” Niko Pirosmani's White Sow With Piglets © Roberto Bigano;

"It is a little village of oystermen and fishermen AquitaineHélène DarrozeDarroze was born in the Landes area but her grandmother was from the Basque country and the whole of that area is close to her heart "Biarritz is the most beautiful town in the country Chez Isabelle is my favourite place for vegetables – the quality is good and she sources a lot from local producers Last summer Isabelle sent me some extraordinary sweet peppers from Anglet like most of the people who go to the market They cook them in the traditional way: little pieces of bread garnished with anchovies That can seem very old-fashioned but there is something to be said for traditional ways and foods." For dinner, Darroze recommends Chez Albert (chezalbert.fr, two-course menu from €40), on the Port des Pêcheurs. But the best restaurant in Biarritz, for her, is Chez Philippe (restaurant-biarritz.com "Philippe [Lafargue] and I worked with Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV in Monaco 15 years ago and Philippe cooks only with a real wood oven is one of Foucan's regular family holiday destinations In particular he loves the seaside town of Les Sables D'Olonne and the capital of the Vendée The latter was dubbed the dullest town in France in an English-authored 19th-century guidebook But it's also somewhere you can relax." he says: "You can easily find places with few tourists Jeremie RozanThe perfect summer getaway for Rozan is his best friend's house set at the end of a forest track outside Lauris It is in the centre of an otherwise empty valley and an ideal location for soaking up both isolation and heat "Every August we spend two weeks there with our oldest friends It's a time to go back to what is important – family It's very inspiring and I often end up planning what I'm going to shoot the following year while I'm there drink Bourgogne and watch a movie on an outdoor screen We have a lot of friends with houses nearby so often we also have nice house parties." La Bouquière guesthouse (+33 4 9075 8717, labouquiere.com), near Bonnieux, has doubles from €80. More on the region from provenceguide.com Jérémie Rozan is co-founder and creative director of French fashion brand Surface to Air (surfacetoair.com) Lili Reynaud-Dewar.jpgThere's no place like Paris for home-bod Reynaud-Dewar "I adore staying in the city in summer time My favourite walk is through the Parc des Beaumonts a suburban park with a fantastic view over Paris with a chaotic mix of nature and architecture and people have barbecues here and there." Its other great selling point is that there are "plenty of hidden places for kissing under the trees in the evening" Photograph: AlamyTHE SOMMELIER Benjamin Roffet The Alps/AlsaceBenjamin RoffetTime permitting "The ski resorts are popular winter holiday destinations but I prefer them in summer as a peaceful environment in which to relax as there are fewer wineries in this region "I often stay at the cosy Hotel Le Clos des Sens in Annecy," he adds. "Like Gordon Ramsay au Trianon the restaurant there boasts two Michelin stars so it's a great place to enjoy fabulous food." "This is truly my favourite area for countryside walks After visiting the region's exemplary vineyards I love to walk through Ribeauvillé's forest in autumn and go hunting for cèpes [porcini mushrooms] I then cook my day's takings and enjoy them with a good bottle of wine." David Jarre and Ara StarckFor Jarre, one of the five most beautiful places in France is a restaurant called La Guinguette de Talloires (laguinguettedetalloires.com "I went there twice on holiday in my early teens when I was starting to learn to play guitar and I was struck by the unknown beauty of the place I felt like I was in another world." It was therefore "an amazing coincidence" to find that one of his best friends now owns the place "He never knew it had been a special place for me." she recommends a walk through the Albert Kahn garden in Paris Strolling through the different gardens here which range from "a French garden to a tall pine forest to a Japanese village" creates "a poetic narrative and fantasmagorical stories" in Starck's head and "nourishes the writing of lyrics" Photograph: AlamyTHE WRITER Agnès Desarthe nr BiarritzAgnes DesartheWhen summer arrives between Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Biarritz on the west coast very close to Spain." The coastline here promises everything she expects from a holiday waves and a very nice restaurant where you can eat grilled fish while gazing at the sunset "It gets crowded in August but if you go in the off-season or late in the day it is just perfect." If you're in the region Desarthe also recommends "great tapas in nearby San Sebastián peppers and beef in one of Asitigarraga's sidrerías" Mossessian loves the area so much that he has built a family home there "I like to stay at the Relais des Trois Mas in Collioure and to buy fresh fish at Port Vendres nearby the sculptor Aristide Maillol's native town." Relais des Trois Mas (+33 4 6882 0507, la-balette.com) has B&B doubles from €100.
