Exhibition: “From Water to Earth”
From April to the end of September 2025, the Deux Rives Tourist Office invites you to discover the exhibition “From Water to Earth.” Painter Dréhan and ceramic artist Coline Veyssière have woven their artistic visions together to showcase works that pay tribute to the natural resources and wildlife of our region.
Water, a precious and vital element, shapes the earth, transforming it into stunning sculptures like those created by Coline Veyssière. The nurturing earth, with its diverse landscapes on both sides of the river, offers a perfect setting for exploration and connection with nature. Through his evocative paintings, Dréhan casts a poetic light on this fragile environment, reminding us all of the importance of preserving it.
The exhibition is hosted in the historic setting of the former Ursulines Chapel. Admission is free, and doors are open daily from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM (extended to 7:00 PM in July and August). Don’t miss this unique journey celebrating the harmony between art and nature!
