Follow a "à la carte" visit for about fifteen minutes.
Visitors randomly draw a map with a question on it; for example, "Did Marie Henry fool Paul Gauguin when she left?" , "Did the artists paint on the walls of the bar to pay off their debts?" The mediator answers this question, then takes you to the reconstituted dining room to understand the importance of this place.
