Maison Gramont in Fanjeaux
An old 15th century’s mansion
Bricks, stone and old beams, this former 15th-century mansion opens its heavy doors to a maze of small, tastefully refurbished rooms. We meander here with delight, from treasures to surprises, we get lost, but we discover great things: that of Heritage and contemporary creation from all walks of life.
Focus on: The “Arts & Culture” association which organizes a beautiful contemporary art exhibition every year, open from mid-June to mid-September, as well as on the “Les 4Z’ARTS” association, which organizes numerous concerts in the gardens of the house.
Most:
A community café set up in the heart of the building or in a small intimate and sheltered garden.
Nicolas Jover workshop:
In one of the wings of this splendid vessel, upstairs, you can also discover an exceptional haute couture workshop where the expert hands of Nicolas Jover (embroiderer) and Yannick Delplace (featherwork) work daily on the most sumptuous creations.
The Association De Soie d’Or et d’Argent:
With the aim of promoting the arts of yarn, the association regularly organizes embroidery and lace workshops … In the heart of summer, workshops-coffee and knitting-tea take place in the garden of the Gramont house; in winter, Christmas decoration workshops delight everyone. Finally, the association organizes a Biennial around the thread which welcomes many people at each edition.
