Summer activities at the Jardin des Plantes
From Tuesday, July 1 2008 to Monday, September 15 2008

Eden in Coutances.

The Jardin des Plantes in Coutance was created under the Second French Empire and remains one of the oldest in Normandy.

The park manages the subtle balance between symmetry à la française, the copses of an English garden and Italian-style terraces. This park is unique for its rare trees, floral arrangements and expansive mosaics, but it is the labyrinth in particular which makes it an ideal place for daydreaming or taking a stroll.

Maurice Douard: "Les Solitaires"
30e anniversaire de l'hostellerie de Tourgéville
From Tuesday, July 1 2008 to Saturday, September 20 2008

Graphic deconstruction.

Maurice Douard, artist of international repute, will be presenting a collection of his works as part of the Solitaires ("Loners") exhibition. Visitors will discover a world of art that bespeaks a troubled life, evocations of hard experiences but also a hint of warmth and affection.

Douard's painted characters are fragmented and then reassembled. The play of light in each work ultimately leads to a common trait in all of his creations: a moment of graphic deconstruction…

"From Megalodons to Catsharks: Sharks off our Shores"
From Tuesday, April 1 2008 to Wednesday, November 12 2008

Jaws: a nefarious myth debunked.

With Rob Stewart's recent film production, Sharkwater, there has been a revival of the public interest in these fascinating creatures. The Channel General Council has thus put together this latest exhibition, Du mégalodon à la roussette, requins de nos côtes , at the Maritime museum in Tatihou.

To the average member of the public, sharks are bad news… Yet, far from this common misconception, the exhibition attempts to shine a more positive light on a creature that has gone from prehistoric predator to being the prey of modern humans.

Swimsuit collection, 1930 - Today.

This summer, the Deauville esplanade (the famed Planches) will be hosting an outdoor photography exhibition for the first time ever. 40 photographs and drawings, courtesy of Vogue magazine archives, will be on display - the exhibition as a whole retraces 70 years of summer fashion and beach-wear.

Deauville, with its 1920s beach resort architecture, sumptuous decor and lighting, is a major hotspot for fashion photography. It is only natural that Les Planches, a year-round prestigious red-carpet, should frame this fascinating expo.

"Sculptures in a Park"
From Sunday, June 1 2008 to Wednesday, December 31 2008

Just around the château corner…

These works are an illustration of the evolution of sculpture. Each is a step in the progress of modern and contemporary sculpture either because of aesthetic choices, or because of the materials used. These works are obviously an important addition the the museum's collections, but more importantly they represent an arresting scene, an artistic surprise for the wanderers and visitors passing by…

The exhibition will display a collection of photographs, engravings and other interesting formats, all related to the life story of the saint.

"Septembre 11th 2001, a global moment"
From Friday, June 6 2008 to Wednesday, December 31 2008

A story to commemorate the fallen.

This expo will be telling a story. The story of the World Trade Center; of an attack in 2001; of firemen and rescue workers and construction workers; of a police force and hospital workers; of the 2 700 people who lost their lives; and finally of the response that these events brought about…

These powerful themes are the very soul of this exhibition built on a collection of personal objects, pictures, films, testimonies and remains found amidst a mountain of rubble. The tale of rescue operations will be told through various things… Things that we all use in everyday life, objects, fragments, debris, a crooked steering wheel, a souvenir…

"Gone, and Returned"
From Saturday, March 22 2008 to Tuesday, September 30 2008

The Normandy-Quebec connection.

What does Normandy have in common with the history of Quebec?

Extensive waves of immigrants in the 17th century for one thing, but another connecting point exists, much closer to our time. The Second World War was an opportunity for these children of France to return to defend their motherland…

This is why the Juno Beach Centre is organising a temporary exhibition this year to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the foundation of Quebec. The thematic aim of the event is to shed light on the common history that Normandy and Quebec share - it is an homage to the soldiers of Normand origin among the troops who were there on D-Day, who fought the Battle of Normandy with Canadian forces.

The title is a fitting, poetic reference to the relation these soldiers had to the motherland - Partis, revenus...

"Loustal, chiaroscuro"
4e Biennale du 9e Art
From Tuesday, July 1 2008 to Sunday, September 21 2008

Many influences, one artist.

Almost 200 works total (watercolours, charcoal, comics, photos…) will be displayed at the Thomas-Henry art museum for this exhibition.

Visitors will discover travel drawing, press drawings, models for posters, collaborations (in particular with Philippe Paringaux).

The curators, Véronique Liévin and Dominique Paysant, chose to focus on transparency and light in the artist's work… As a result, the visitor plunges into a world of shadows and light, a world of chiaroscuro which highlights dark, strong colours... In particular the night blues and acid yellows that are so characteristic of Loustan's work.

"Dust and Ashes"
From Friday, June 20 2008 to Sunday, October 5 2008

Homage.

This exhibition is not for the faint of heart… Christophe Miralles has set up this event as an homage to the victims of terrorist attacks in London and Madrid.

His art lies between painting and sculpture. The spectator wanders amidst a forest of faceless beings but also vividly colourful canvases, a stark contrast that reflects a confrontation, a cohabitation of life and death.

"Trouville in the style of…"
From Saturday, August 23 2008 to Saturday, September 20 2008

Painters of tomorrow.

After some fascinating themes in the previous editions ("Staircases in Trouville"; "Childhood impressions in Trouville") which had inspired numerous artists, this year the cultural centre's choice of theme is "Trouville in the style of…"

The idea is not to copy a famous work but to imitate a particular painter's style, technique or overall character in order to create a landscape piece depicting Trouville. The work can be on canvas or any other format, and with whatever tools the artist sees fit (watercolour, gouache, pastel…).

The work judged the finest will be awarded a prize during a special ceremony on September 20th.

Visit the Cité de la Mer
From Saturday, January 1 2005 to Wednesday, December 31 2008

The thrill of the deep.

La Cité de la Mer, which opened on 29 April 2002, is a vast scientific, cultural and fun centre devoted to the immense riches of the oceans and oceanographic exploration.
Exceeding all expectations, the Cité welcomed its millionth visitor in July 2005.!
Encouraged by these visitor numbers, the Cité de la Mer is now launching a second extension phase.
The origins of the Cité de la Mer, which enjoys an enviable situation in the former Cherbourg trans-Atlantic passenger docks, were twofold: to revive an Art Deco masterpiece, the former trans-Atlantic passenger terminal, and to make the nuclear submarine Le Redoutable the biggest submarine open to the public in the world. Those aims have been achieved.
The gradual descent into the abyss, during a three-hour journey into a fault in the ocean floor, is organised according to two major themes:
The Submarine, with an introduction to the Redoutable, the biggest submarine open to the public anywhere in the world.
For 45 minutes, the voice of the Captain explains how a nuclear submarine works and what life onboard is like for its crew.

The Ocean, which concentrates on exploring and using the rich resources of the ocean, and which centres around one of the deepest aquariums in Europe (10.70m) containing over 3,500 fish.

Changing over the centuries.

Attractive in its austerity, the castle of Carrouges is a distillation of history from the 14th to the 20th century. Initially a fortress that came under siege by the Plantagenets, it was rebuilt during the Hundred Years War (keep), extended in the 15th century (Blosset wing), ornamented during the Renaissance (Cardinal Le Veneur's pavilion) and fortified yet again during the Wars of Religion (western bastion). In the 16th century, it became a magnificent residence (suite of spacious apartments) and was redesigned under the Enlightenment (music room).
The former canonry, founded by Louis XI, is now the headquarters for the Parc Naturel Régional Normandie-Maine.

This tiny commune surrounded by forest is a site of historic, architectural, geological and botanical interest.
When you visit, don't miss:

It suffered during the Wars of Religion and under the Revolution.

- The priory: it features an 11th century Romanesque porch, undoubtedly the finest of its kind in Normandy, six splendid capitals representing hunting scenes, and some restored frescoes.

- Neolithic settlement: the settlement has four enclosure walls looking down over the valley of the Cance.
According to local tradition, it was once a Roman military camp.
It is certainly an ancient site dating from th Bronze Age and would have served as a place of refuge, a defensive position and a look-out post.
