Embark on an unusual and exceptional tour guided by Emmanuel Jouanno, communication manager at the DRAC. Discover this former psychiatric asylum, and its monumental, symmetrical and characteristic architecture of the 19th. This monument is listed as a historical monument. It hosts the premises of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs of Normandy since June 1998, and is full of anecdotes and curiosities to discover. The visit begins with the court and an explanation of what a public commission is. It continues in the reception and the chapel with a particular attention to the stained glass windows and ends with the history of the building and some specific points of impact of this history on its architecture.
