Rive d’Arts

With the addition of this facility, the town now boasts a new communal amenity in an outstanding setting on the Loire Valley World Heritage site and the “Loire à Vélo” itinerary. 

Operated by a private body, “Les 3 Lieux” cluster comprises a 3-star hotel, a gastronomic restaurant and a bistro serving fast food at lunchtimes and acting as a wine bar in the evening. 

The creation cluster is managed by the municipality of Ponts-de-Cé and comprises:  

• 10 studios available for rent to professional creators
• A 420-m² hall for hosting events and exhibitions
• Rooms for rent as venues for professional meetings (congresses, seminars, meetings, etc.)
• Professional visual art exhibitions with artistic mediation organised by the municipalit
• Special programmes organised by creators (courses, classes, etc.)

A photograph exhibition on the history of the place opened on 29 January to mark the cluster’s inauguration, and is due to run until 30 April. It is a part of our historical heritage as well as of our industrial architectural heritage, bearing witness to the memories of the men and women workers it once employed, most of whom came from Ponts-de-Cé, and many of whom still live near the site.
