Art in Les Arques
The tiny, typical Lot hamlet of Les Arques wouldn’t be so well known if it hadn’t been for a famous Russian artist, Ossip Zadkine, who moved to this part of France in 1934. There is an interesting museum of his works, along with some paintings by his wife, Valentine Prax. It is also thanks to Zadkine that visitors can see the little 11th century St André Chapel in the woods where he discovered 15th – 16th century mural paintings.
