Antibes, France  - It comes as no surprise that artists loved the view of the deep blue sea on the right, the proud old town walls of Antibes on the left and the hazy outline of the mountains on the horizon.

Claude Monet painted this scene in 1888, Henri Edmond Cross captured the same image 20 years later and now visitors can decide whether he captured the atmosphere as the painting is being exhibited as a poster on that very spot.

It is only one of 50 works of art on show as part of the Chemin des Peintre, The Painters' Way, which holidaymakers can follow in the Cote d'Azur.

The series of posters stretches along the coast from Menton to Cannes and extends inland to Grasse, Mougins and Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
