Journées Européennes du Patrimoine - Découverte du musée Robert Tatin & spectacle

In 1962, Robert Tatin and his wife Lise bought a small old house at La Frénouse in the commune of Cossé-le-Vivien in Mayenne. He imagined his 'Maison des Champs', a monumental work rooted in nature, which would be the crossroads of all civilisations through the creation of a universal language, a 'bridge between East and West'. The first painted reinforced cement sculptures soon appeared in what he called "Le Jardin des Méditations", the heart of the museum. In 1967, the municipal road leading to his living and creative space was given the first of the 20 "Géants" that line it today, which he named the Allée des Géants. This marked the beginning of twenty-one years of sculptural, architectural and pictorial creation, in the company of Lise who actively participated in the construction of the museum. Robert Tatin died in 1983. Since then, apart from successive restoration campaigns, the work has remained the same...
