Parcours des Mosaiques

The idea is simple and exactly right: place a reproduction of a painting at the spot where it was made, so the visitor can compare what the painter saw with what they did with it. The result is sometimes humbling — the forest has not changed as much as you expect — and sometimes a reminder that a painter's job is not to record but to decide.

The nineteen mosaics were produced in Venetian glass from original works held in museums across France, translated by specialist mosaic artists and installed along the Grande Rue and surrounding streets. They cover Millet, Rousseau, Corot, Diaz de la Peña, and others. The full circuit runs 870 metres end to end, flat and fully accessible. No ticket required.
