Meet Folcoche at the salon
Have an unusual encounter with Hervé Bazin's mother, the terrible Folcoche who haunts "Viper in the Fist". You will meet her where she actually lived until her death in 1960 and you will easily imagine her while visiting the furnished and decorated rooms of the castle, and the timeless atmosphere of the bourgeois salons.
And meet Hervé Bazin
The writer also lived in this place all his childhood, marked by the very difficult relationship with his mother. At the age of twenty, he left and tried to live off various odd jobs and unsuccessful attempts at writing. And this until he met with success with "Vipère au poing", followed by about thirty other titles.
You will also meet the man who was president of the Goncourt Academy until 1996, and imagine him living in this setting, discovering or rediscovering his life and work in a contemporary museum room.
