Heritage house dated 1915 where we see the last works of Louis Volcere in Victoria.

Any admirer of Creole architecture will appreciate this heritage house, dated 1915, which the painter and designer George Camille bought in 1994 and immediately undertook its restoration at great expense with the essential know-how of an old carpenter passionate about his art, Louis Volcere. A real success! Filao parquet flooring, sandalwood walls, papal chalice shutters: this goldsmith's work, to the glory of exotic woods, is certainly worth the detour, this exemplary resurrection also passing through the old furniture installed in these rooms full of atmosphere, some of which offer a beautiful showcase for the artist's works. Indeed, the artist has made this Creole hut his exhibition gallery. We can see his latest works, most of them less figurative than a few years ago, since the artist now gives relief to his painting by sculpting the paper, working on the embossing, before applying the colors in acrylic, pastel and watercolor. Works from which pierce here and there questions about the meaning of life. The prices? Engravings, collages and other canvases (sometimes in large format) cost about 1,000 SR to 50,000 SR. In short, it would be a pity to pass through Victoria without taking the time to stop in this Kaz Zanana which has the value of a historical monument, just like Kenwyn House, at the entrance of the city. It is also possible to have a drink in the pleasant little café at the back of the house for a very pleasant stop.

Une petite visite dans cette jolie maison créole est bien sympathique !
c'est gratuit et assez original car il n'en reste que très peu dans cette état
Pour l'exposition de peinture à l’intérieur ...j'avoue ne pas y avoir porté un grand intérêt car très peu connaisseur de cet art !
A voir, c'est rapide gratuit et assez rare
