Chateau d'Oiron

Built from the 16th century by the seigneurial family Les Gouffiers, the Château d'Oiron today houses the contemporary art collection Curios & Mirabilia, loosely based on the theme of the curiosity cabinet in reference to the fabulous art collection of Claude Gouffier, master of King Henry II of France's stables. Artists reinterpret an exceptional place and original décor - galleries of Renaissance wall paintings in the School of Fontainebleau style, painted panelling and carved woodwork from the 17th century. Visitors are invited to explore "curiosities" and "marvels" following in the footsteps of the Marquis de Carabas - or Puss in Boots, who, it is said, was based on Claude Gouffier. FROM 1ST JUNE TO 30 SEPTEMBER Open every day 10.30-18.30 FROM 1ST OCTOBER TO 31 MAY Open every day 10.30-17.30 N.B Last admission to the ticket office 1h before closing time. CLOSING DAYS 1 January, 1 May, 1 & 11 November and 25 December

This is a gem of a place. Beautifully maintained and with welcoming and friendly staff. Beautiful location and the current exhibitions, ‘Le temps pour horizon by Julie C. Fortier and Nomen Nescio by Nicolas Daybanes are stunning. The permanent art collection fits perfectly with the surroundings. Plenty of space and good social distancing planning is in place. The gardens are wonderful to peruse and perfect to picnic in. Highly recommended.

Musee Henri Barre, Thouars

Certified museum of France, the Henri Barre museum is installed since 1920 in a mansion, built in the XIXth century, by the doctor of the same name. The neo-Gothic building, built in 1862 at the heart of a historic district of the city, kept a part of its internal decoration and its charm of collector's house. Real alive cultural place, the Henri Barre museum proposes, from April till September, a program of varied animations. Temporary exhibitions, national demonstrations, and other meetings are so much second-hand to discover places and collections.
