Visitors enjoy discovering more than just the objects, the artists and their worlds.
A passion for objets d'art
Dominique and Michel Laborde settled permanently in Touques after several years working in Paris. Initially, Touques was their weekend destination. They organize exhibitions there. It's the common thread running through a lifetime dedicated to artists who find it very difficult to exhibit their work.
A few years ago, Dominique Laborde was in charge, among other things, of developing licensed accessories for the famous Carita hairdressing brand. She called on designers to propose ranges of jewelry, accessories and scarves, creating a brand universe imbued with creativity. Eventually, she moved to the other side of the fence and set up her own company to create and distribute artistic products. She exhibits them in her boutique in the gardens of the Palais Royal. With Michel, they also began organizing art fairs held in the Hôtel du Louvre. Production manager at Ogilvy, Michel is also attracted to artistic creation. He designs communications.
