Two and a half years after opening, Les Franciscaines welcomes its 500,000th visitor!
Congratulations to Rona BISSEY, a young 24-year-old from Deauville, who came to Les Franciscaines for the2nd time, this time to attend his brother-in-law's graduation ceremony. Welcomed by Philippe Augier, Mayor of Deauville and President of the Franciscaines, he received a Friendciscaines Pass and 100% Franciscaines gifts !
This success is based on its innovative principle: a multi-faceted, intergenerational and welcoming venue, combining a museum, temporary exhibitions, shows and conferences, a media library with an innovative concept, a Fablab, a restaurant and a bookshop-boutique.
Conceived as a place to live, learn and enjoy, accessible to all, Les Franciscaines attracts a wide range of visitors. Families gather to read a book or play a board game, friends to visit an exhibition or attend a lecture or show, and especially young teenagers to study or simply hang out, appreciating the atmosphere and comfort of the premises.
Save the date! The Spring 2024 season program will be unveiled on Thursday December 14 at 6:30pm (La Chapelle / Free admission).
