A villa for sale in Cannes

Pablo Picasso’s granddaughter is selling his villa in Cannes and 126 of his ceramics as she tries to shake off unhappy childhood memories of the artist.
Marina Picasso, 64, remembers being taken to the gates of the grand three-storey house, La Californie, by her impoverished father, Paulo, to beg for handouts from an indifferent Picasso.
The sale “will be a way for me to turn the page on a rather painful story,” she told the newspaper Nice-Matin.
Val says how sad to have unhappy memories of a grandparent. Money does not sort everything.
