A unique human experience,
50 years of restoration and cultural animation
Join us to look back over 50 years of preservation and passion, through previously unseen archive photographs, and follow the adventure throughout the summer on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
To celebrate 50 years of working with volunteers, the Centre d’Animation du Château de Gratot has called on our partner artists to create two original works, now permanently installed on the site:
- The bench, symbol of commitment and of a love of ancient stones, sculpted by the students of La Roquelle High School
- The Legend of Fairy Andaine, illustrated by Mathilde Loisel and interpreted by Laura Rondel, decorative engraver.
A propos de jardin – August 4 and 5, 2018
