Gallery of the Old Mail — Attraction in Montpellier

We love Galerie de l’Ancien Courrier !

Tucked away in a beautiful side street (the lovely historic street alone is worth a visit), this gallery is remarkably well curated with fine art. You will find gorgeous paintings in a variety of expressions (oils on canvas, ink on paper, watercolors, etc.) — something for everyone.

And if you fall in love with a painting, as we did both times that we visited in a span of 2 years, you will find it surprisingly easy to get your painting home, regardless of how far from France you live. The gallery owner/manager Claire is quite savvy in both packaging small paintings to carry onto a plane, and also in shipping larger paintings abroad. She views them as her children and will do what is needed to get them safely to your home.

Here is a description of both of our experiences (one was 2 years ago; the other, last month).

We bought a large-format painting (too big to carry on a plane) a few weeks ago. Owner/manager Claire had it carefully wrapped and packaged and then shipped it to California USA. It arrived in pristine condition after a quick and easy pickup that I did myself at SFO airport cargo - no need to hire a broker. For me, picking it up just required a trip to United Airlines cargo office and then US customs, right around the corner. Easy! This process only required about 15 minutes. We bought a painting a couple years ago that was small enough to carry onto a plane. This painting she wrapped, wrapped again, and wrapped yet again and then packed in a very protective bag that was easy to carry. Both onto the plane and throughout the rest of our two-week trip! It also arrived in perfect condition despite spend a couple weeks on a trip with us in cars and hotels.

This gallery provides an amazing opportunity to take home beautiful artwork from sophisticated and up-and-coming fine artists throughout Western Europe (France, Spain, The Netherlands, etc.) and a reminder of your trip to a lovely part of the world.
