Art in the heart of nature

Come and discover a magical place, on an estate founded in 1620.

Founded in 1620 by his ancestor Charles Le Pesant, cousin of Pierre and Thomas Corneille's mother, the estate has evolved over the centuries. Jean-Marc de Pas, sculptor, grew up here, surrounded by remarkable trees and ponies. In 1983, at the age of 21, he was given the family chateau, with its fine buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Here, the artist found the free space to realize a dream: the creation of a poetic garden celebrating Nature to surround his childhood home, on his mother's land, and open it to the public.

He created a vast seven-hectare poetic space. Seventy of his works in bronze, resin or cement line the walk through different landscaped areas celebrating the elements, the seasons, the earth, the sun or the cosmos, in a harmony of Art and Nature.
