EMMANUEL DE LA VILLEON MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Housed in the only porch house on the street, the museum itself is an exceptional place that was preserved during the Second World War. It should be recalled that most of the porch houses were destroyed in the fires that ravaged the city in the 17th century and during the June 1944 bombardment. The Emmanuel de la Villéon Museum allows you to get to know this impressionist painter better, namely that he was born in Fougères in 1858. This museum gathers his works, from his first painting at 17 years old on a thick oak door, to one of his last paintings of January 1944. This painter is still known as a renowned landscape painter and an avant-garde colourist who was able to meet the greatest independent painters of his time. Emmanuel de la Villéon has been able to experiment with many styles and influences throughout his career. This collection of oils, pastels, gouaches, charcoals and inks should appeal to painters.

Members' reviews on EMMANUEL DE LA VILLEON MUSEUM
Nous y trouvons l’œuvre de l’un des derniers peintres impressionnistes.
Tarif à partir de 4€ / adulte
Visites hors saison sur réservation.
Les collections sont bien présentés, la décoration du musée très bien faite et le personnel est sympa.
La collection ne comprend pas beaucoup d'informations personnelles sur Emmanuel De la Villeon mais une brochure explicative, distribuée gratuitement par l'agent d'accueil, comprenant des représentations de ses œuvres comble ce manque.
La visite de ce musée est un très bon complément à la visite du château et du clocher de l'église St Léonard.
