DA COSTA BLUE HOUSE
A unique ensemble of living quarters and gardens, featuring a series of miniature buildings.
The Blue House is a unique ensemble, composed of a dwelling place and a garden, where a series of miniature buildings (chapels, mills, mausoleums), covered with fragments of ceramics and recycled glass, rise up. This open-air mosaic was registered in the inventory of historical monuments in 1991. It is the work of Euclides da Costa Ferreira (1902-1984), a Portuguese exile. It can be compared to the Ideal Palace of the Facteur Cheval in the Drôme or to the Picassiette House in Chartres and can be assimilated to the art brut.

Accueil sympa
prévoir 1 heure pour la visite
Cependant, le lieu est sur vendu... en effet, il s agit d un très petit jardin avec une vingtaine de "sculptures" en mosaique a voir.
Le tour prend tout au plus quelques minutes...
En revanche, les bénévoles sont très investis et je suis contente d avoir contribué a la sauvegarde de cette exposition...
Lieu a eviter les jours de grand soleil car le tout est sous une serre et la temperature monte rapidement
