FRAGRANCE

Eau de Sète

Mix our view of the works with one of our senses, that of olfaction. Offer a fragrance in the rooms that accompanies the visit, create a perfume, Eau de Sète , in homage to Paul Valéry, based on the three deities invoked by the poet:
[…] nothing has formed me more, more impregnated, better instructed - or constructed - than these hours stolen from the study, distracted in appearance, but fundamentally devoted to the unconscious worship of three or four incontestable deities: The Sea, the Sky, the Sun. »
