ARMCHAIRS IN THE SEINE
The tourist circuit "Armchairs in the Seine" invites you to discover the territory of the Community of Communes Coeur Côte Fleurie under a new angle, through urban armchairs revisited by regional artists and installed all along the maritime stroll, at the edges of water points or in the heart of the Norman bocage.
This creative and participative approach invites walkers to stroll through sites offering an exceptional panorama of the Estuary and the Seine or the surrounding countryside, while discovering the message transmitted by the artist through his work.
79 armchairs are exposed on the 12 communes of the Community of Communes Coeur Côte Fleurie: Bénerville-sur-mer, Blonville-sur-mer, Deauville, Saint-Arnoult, Saint-Gatien-des-Bois, Saint-Pierre-Azif, Touques, Tourgéville, Trouville-sur-mer, Vauville, Villers-sur-mer, Villerville.
The 40 participating artists, amateurs and professionals, come from the Côte Fleurie, the Pays d'Auge and more widely from Normandy. From stencil to sculpture, through the use of wood, photography or painting, each of them was free to seize the raw material to transform it into a work of art.
Where to find the chairs?
See the map on the dedicated websiteVoluntarily purified to allow the artist to work the raw material, it was delivered disassembled, the steel was treated to resist to the climatic conditions. It can be sawn, modulated differently, the wooden boards completely changed, the freedom is left to the artists provided that they meet two conditions: keep the function of chair and resist to the climatic conditions.
