THE MILL
It was in 1951 that Aragon decided to offer Elsa the Russian, the uprooted, the foreigner, "this little corner of France": this mill established at the beginning of the 13th century. Vestiges of the milling activity remain: the cage of the wheel is in the heart of the large living room, itself leaning against the millstream. The couple's favorite objects and the works of artist friends have remained intact, creating a warm and unique atmosphere.
THE PARK
The park of nearly 6 hectares invites you to a country escapade.
A walk through the meadows, woods and "weeping" that follow one another, allows the visitor to discover the places that inspired Elsa and Aragon. Undergrowth with a humid, twilight atmosphere, and dazzlingly bare meadows rub shoulders and intertwine. The authenticity of the park is reinforced by the presence of spontaneous vegetation.
SCULPTURES' GARDEN
Maison Elsa Triolet - Aragon hosts a permanent collection of sculptures which is enriched each year with works by artists who are friends of the place.
This scenographed tour will make you discover about thirty works of contemporary artists.
Children's tour : pictograms to share, discuss and discover the works with the whole family.
THE MODERN DANCING
Built between 1943 and 1946 during the dance hall craze, the wooden and stained glass ballroom is listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments.
It is the privileged place for shows and seminars organized at the Moulin, and can be rented for your special occasions.
