Louis Derbré, 82 years old today is a world renowned sculptor. His work is of great intensity, but his sculptures always rise, marking the predominance of the spirit. His world peace memorial is located in the Hiroshima Park, Japan. In Ernée, he made a replica of this monument, built a theatre in the open, and he hosts monumental sculptures on a park of 15 ha. The Myth and its 18 m high, watch on. Today he is passionate in his huge workshop about ten young artists.

It is the cultural and congress centre of La Baule. It lowers cultural life bauloise to the year: theatre, music, songs… This great scene also hosts professional appointments. Its capacity for accommodating between 50 and 500 people makes it ideal for private, family or associative events.

This architectural square houses a swarm of musical culture in the heart of Pellouailles. Everything is concentrated here: classical music courses, amplified music workshops and artists'residences that come there for a few days to prepare and refine their concerts before going on tour. But there is also a show room, adjustable, which has already hosted known groups and singers, some-man-shows, etc. The acoustics are not the most successful, it must be admitted, but having a real hall in the middle of the northern Angers countryside is rather bad! Because culture is not confined to big cities…

The "capital" of the only country of Art and History of Sarthe is of course worth a detour for its heritage. A medieval city and Renaissance with its small wooden houses, its passages and courtyards, it is happy to stroll along its streets or through its canals: Here's Venice in the West! The city is also visiting a tourist train in season. Please contact the tourist office. You can also let yourself be told the city by a keynote guide.

This brand new cultural area offers numerous and varied performances, ranging from classical music to ballets, one, shows, theatre… Subscriptions are offered, but also discounted rates, family rates and Culture Pass for young people.
