Strange how words are telling stories. Work of art and work of fortification. The word La guerche could be of the same origin than the word work. Like a castle a work of art is a fortification. A social center. Etienne is organizing a festival for august, with a friend of him, pupil at the Théâtre school Viriot. He is himself a student of Science Po (political science school).



I always dreamed to enter aristocratic life and I met Etienne heir of La Guerche, castle in the Indre et Loire (the day after I also met the Lady president of Poitou that was visiting the prehistoric site of l'Angle-sur-l'Anglin, but the event was less important to me). Etienne de Crouy-Chanel was preparing a painting exhibition of Jacques and Mila Andrieux. She was born in Serbie, Belgrade, and he is from Paris. They met at the Beaux-Arts school where they graduated in 1967. Their work is complimentary.



Like a Castle a work of art is a mental fortification, a center, a base. So the couple dicided to open a galerie rue de Seine and work together. They are really complementary. Mila told me about the castle of Abin whose owner was friend of sir Eiffel and had the privilege to have a little bridge built by him over the river in the park. Worth visiting I guess.
