The exhibition is part of Photos Folies en Touraine – a biannual event with lots of exhibitions of photos held across Touraine from 17th September to 1st November. This is the 5th edition. More details here.
Work on making a kitchen at Le Lézard Vert will finally begin on Monday and is expected to take about a month. Nacer tells me that the first dish he will be serving once the work is complete will be a lamb tagine with prunes.
Le Lézard Vert
The big barn just on the edge of Epeigné on the road to Saint-Georges is apparently up for sale. It used to be part of the Moulin property but was sold off separately and for a number of years was owned by a second hand furniture dealer (brocanteur), who used it for storage. How everything has been cleared out. There is a project for the commune, presumably with a considerable subsidy to make this large space into a musée de la patrimoine.
If this project falls through I understand that there is a fledgling impresario, based in London's Chelsea who has ambitious plans to make this into a cultural/conference centre. As I understand it the idea is to hold international seminars and jazz concerts etc. here.
