Some of his well known paintings are: The Bonaventure Pine, Saint Tropez, Port St. Tropez and, The Papal Palace.
In 2010, a previously unknown work was discovered at a hotel which was preparing an exhibition of its many paintings. The Hotel Spaander in Volendam has about 1,400 works of art and Signac apparently gave this one to pay for his stay there in 1894. Valued at €100,000, the unnamed oil "representing a view of the harbour used to hang off a rusty nail in the lobby".
