ESPACE GASTON CHAISSAC

Enter the poetic and colorful universe of Gaston Chaissac in Sainte Florence, located 30 minutes from La Roche sur Yon. Come and discover the "Blue sugar box", scenography, imagined by Xavier de Richemont, retracing the work of the artist 30 minutes from Puy du Fou.
Gaston Chaissac's work is one of the most abundant and unique of the XNUMXth century. Draftsman, painter, sculptor, writer and poet, he never stopped reinventing words, creating shapes and diverting everyday objects. He lived in Sainte Florence and left his mark there by painting the toilets of the old school which have since been listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments, visible during the visit.
Live an immersive experience by discovering the spaces that tell the story of Gaston Chaissac.
