Harmonie sauvage at Maison de Loire
Harmonie sauvage brings work by Jean-Claude Picard and Daniel Guy to the Maison de Loire in Jargeau. The pairing places two named artistic practices within a center devoted to the river environment, creating a dialogue between visual art and the Loire setting. Wildlife and biodiversity provide the shared frame, linking the exhibition to ways of observing the living world along the river corridor. Visitors encounter the artists as a deliberate pairing, not as unrelated displays, with the Maison de Loire giving their work a precise regional context. That institutional setting connects contemporary expression with Jargeau’s landscape and the cultural attention given to the riverbanks. The meeting of art, place and environmental awareness gives the exhibition its character, carried by the distinct contributions of Picard and Guy.
Patriarche Hospices Wine Tasting
Maison Patriarche marks the Hospices de Beaune wine auction with a tasting route through its historic cellars. Ten selected Burgundy wines bring together Premiers Crus, Grands Crus and older vintages, served in an engraved glass that visitors can keep. The cellar journey also includes contemporary works installed with Art in Situ, so paintings and other pieces emerge within the underground architecture as an integrated cellar display. In the Cave aux Arômes, a visual and olfactory display presents the twelve aromatic families associated with Burgundy wines, giving guests another way to read what is in the glass. Gougères and water are available along the route. Wine, art, aroma and vaulted cellar heritage combine in a focused Beaune programme tied to the city’s celebrated auction tradition.
Puy de Lumieres
Puy de Lumières uses animated projections and sound to tell stories of volcanism, history and regional specialities. Seven heritage sites form the route, including the Musée Crozatier, the Rocher Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe and the old bridge at Brives-Charensac. The circuit is free to follow, with the architecture and landscape serving as the projection surfaces.
Visions Bretonnes in Plougoulm: Corentin Kembraeg Exhibition
SOZO takes its name from the Japanese words for creation and imagination, and every piece at the Médiathèque Ty Koulm, Plougoulm, is printed by the sun. Cyanotype lays plants on sensitised paper and lets daylight do the exposing; a rinse in water leaves their silhouettes white against deep blue. A fern, a blade of grass, a leaf forgotten on a path: the subjects grow underfoot. Exposure times vary, so blues and shadows shift print to print.
Fragments Bretons in Lanvallay: Artistic Insights
Fragments Bretons in Lanvallay presents paintings by Emmanuelle Courty shaped by regional interiors, landscapes and memory. Quiet domestic scenes meet glimpses of shore and riverbank, with changing light connecting inside and outside. The works turn familiar materials and spaces into intimate studies of how Brittany is experienced through everyday detail.
Une seule promesse à la fois in Trédrez-Locquémeau: Art & Im
Une seule promesse à la fois was created for Galerie du Dourven by Ulla von Brandenburg with Benoit Résillot. Thirteen shades of blue form an underwater world that responds to the building and to the surrounding meeting of sea, land and sky. Mermaid song and Breton landscape blur interior and exterior, folklore and dream, giving the installation a sensory rhythm tied to its site.
Escales Photos Festival in Locmariaquer: Monochrome Focus
Escales Photos Festival in Locmariaquer presents monochrome photography in a coastal Morbihan setting. The festival uses outdoor and public display formats to connect contemporary image-making with streets, shoreline and local movement. Its black-and-white focus gives the route a clear visual identity while keeping the exhibition accessible beyond a conventional gallery.
Exposition “Partir en fumée” in Morlaix: Art Narrative
Partir en fumée presents Gabrielle Manglou’s drawings, photographs, volumes, archival images and found objects in Morlaix. Born in La Réunion and based in Locmiquélic, the artist works with Creole culture, fictional storytelling and forgotten narratives. The exhibition gives Brittany a meeting point with island memory, archival fragments and contemporary visual practice.
Ce que la pierre garde in Trédrez-Locquémeau: Mosaic Art
Ce que la pierre garde presents Paulina Okurowska’s mosaic work with recycled Breton slate, a material carrying roofs, weather and rural building memory. Cut, tilted and set with glass or gold leaf, the stone becomes relief, landscape and light. Schist and weathered roof tiles retain their Breton mineral identity even as they become contemporary relief, landscape and light.
