About the location

Village de Masgot
Masgot, 23480 Fransèches
  • Creuse
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Village sculpted at the heart of the Creuse where François Michaud, stony tailor(suit) self-educated person of the XIXth century, adorned with granite naïve sculptures all that mattered(counted) for him: characters, animals but also his(her,its) convictions and his(her,its) dreams. This man transformed an ordinary village into an unique(only) place by daring simply to be himself and to assert(affirm) his difference.
