The Maison Jean Cocteau is an important expression of the artist’s tastes and private life, now offering the public, after five years of preparation, a perfect reconstitution of the bedroom, office, and main sitting room, which notably contains a masterly canvas by Christian Bérard. The renovations, led by architect François Magendie and the team of Dominique Païni-Nathalie Crinière (who organised the Jean Cocteau exhibit at the Centre Pompidou in 2003), also allow for the display of a selection of drawings from the Cocteau estate, which includes, in addition to the best of Cocteau, works by Picasso, Warhol, Modigliani, Buffet, Blanche, Man Ray...

Le territoire de la Confluence correspond à l’intégralité du sud de la Presqu’île entre la place Carnot et la pointe du confluent Rhône/Saône. Coupé du reste de la ville par deux fleuves, une autoroute et une voie ferrée, il s’est développé sur le mode d’un faubourg industriel. La moitié des 150 hectares était occupée par des activités industrielles ou logistiques, en voie de cessation ou relocalisation, offrant ainsi des disponibilités foncières considérables. Les atouts de ce territoire sont nombreux : une situation centrale dans l’agglomération, un site paysager d’une grande qualité (les berges douces de la Saône, de grands paysages collinaires, 5 kilomètres de quais (aucun point n’est éloigné de l’eau de plus de 400 mètres), l’attrait unique d’un confluent puissant, un quartier habité depuis le 19ième siècle et une desserte très performante (une gare SNCF, une ligne de métro, deux lignes de tramway).

Situated at the heart of the Quartier of creation on the Ile de Nantes, the Manny building is being built on the initiative of Patrice Coupechoux, CEO of the Coupechoux group by the Nantes-based agency Tetrarc who create emblematic architecture, an urban event that bears witness to the vitality of the creation.

 

Official Partner of Estuaire Nantes<>Saint-Nazaire since its creation in 2007 (supporting "les anneaux" (“the rings”) by Daniel Buren and Patrick Bouchain), the Coupechoux group proves once again its engagement in inviting two artists, Rolf Julius and Angela Bulloch, to respond to the architecture of the building.
