CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

A place of passage between the real and the imaginary, the cabinet of curiosities will awaken your senses with its collection of heterogeneous artifacts.

SALON DE L'ÉTRANGE

Located in the heart of the building, this former sacristy will become a place of conviviality between Les Sages Fous, the artists in residence and a public interested in the creative process.

The Salon de l'étrange will bear witness to the building's past, as well as displaying relics from the travels of Les Sages Fous and visiting artists, puppets and other unusual objects.

THE SAGES FOUS WORKROOM

Since 2006, this workshop has been the heart of all Les Sages Fous' activities. In constant transformation, it became a rehearsal room, office, dressing room, dining room, workshop...

With the renovation of the building, it has once again become a sunny creative workshop, overlooking the river.

MANUFACTURING WORKSHOP

A fully equipped, sunny workshop.
A place where dust and dreams coexist.

OFFICES

Since the beginning of our adventures, our offices never really existed. They have always been temporary, on the corner of a table, amidst a noisy workshop, threatened by the constant reorganization of our premises….

Now we'll have bright, quiet offices to concentrate on our epistolary work!
