Born of an unusual artistic happening in 2023 with the artist Faben and his Mr Lover, “La Colle-sur-Love” returns in 2026 with a new dimension, becoming a veritable urban art festival. For the past two years, this hijacking of the name of La Colle-sur-Loup has been captivating visitors with its originality and creative atmosphere.
Under the artistic direction of Anthony Alberti, alias Mr OneTeas, 12 artists will take to the streets from 14 February to 1 March 2026, creating their works live on structures in three key locations: the forecourt of the Tourist Office, Place de Gaulle and the forecourt of the Emilie Fer Gymnasium. An artistic performance by Jérémy Besset will also mark this exceptional edition.
Around the artists, twenty free workshops will be on offer for all ages: free expression, writing, collage, customisation of objects… All immersive experiences supervised by local artists. At the same time, art installations will be taking over the streets of the village, transforming La Colle-sur-Loup into a veritable open-air museum.
You’ll find plenty of gifts to give your loved one on the Côte d’Azur, in addition to the inevitable red rose. Visit a craft shop for original gifts, or a florist in the Grasse region for a bouquet of lilies. Visit a perfumer for a personalised fragrance. Do you like decorating? Our craftsmen offer handmade pottery to decorate your home.
The Côte d’Azur is an ideal destination for lovers in search of exceptional scenery. Like the Bahamas or the Caribbean, the Côte d’Azur offers splendid panoramas along its coastline.
Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14 February. There are several versions of the history and origins of Valentine’s Day. One of them says that in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I wanted to combat the Lupercalia (annual Roman festivals celebrated by a people called Luperques) by introducing a festival to purify the Virgin. The Festival of Love was therefore celebrated on 14 February.
