Acerca del lugar

Maison de la Gaieté

4 route des Mosaïques, 17510 Chérac

Charente-Maritime

Nouvelle-Aquitaine

A unique place in Charente-Maritime, the Maison de la Gaieté, in Chérac, is a café, restaurant, cabaret, theater and cinema, which was decorated with mosaics by its owner, Ismaël Villéger (1881-1963) and by his son Guy (1926-2007), from 1937 until the 1950s. Millions of tessera – pieces of broken dishes – were needed to adorn the exterior facades of the establishment and decorate the interior with paintings, vases and mosaic-decorated furniture. This major work of naive art has been for several decades a high place of conviviality and festivity in Chérac. Closed in the 1970s and threatened with disappearance, the House of Gaiety was listed as a historical monument in 2014 and it was bought by a resident of Chérac, Laurent Hervé, in order to perpetuate the work of art and its cultural and leisure activity. The House of Gaiety has just been restored and opens its doors again to the public.
