The Musée Peynet et du Dessin Humoristique is a charming museum in Antibes dedicated to the work of French artist Raymond Peynet, best known for his iconic 'Les Amoureux' (The Lovers) series.

The museum houses a collection of Peynet's original drawings, as well as works by other humorous artists, offering a lighthearted and nostalgic experience. Visitors can explore the evolution of Peynet's style and see how his simple line drawings captured the essence of romance.
