She was so interested in

Gaudi’s works in

Barcelona that she

decided to realize a

personal work with

architecture and ceramic

technics.

A few reasons to talk

about this place :

All people who visit this park, return

in childhood.

Men and women takes pictures in

little mirrors of the sculpture ;

They laugh and play like children.

The

second

reason is

splendid

colors of

the

ceramics.

She named the park :

“ the artistic work of my life”

because the creation of this park

lasted twenty years and required

many ceramists.

Financial because she wanted to finance alone this big project.

she had Jean Tinguely, her second husband as an artist too, but she

refused most of his financial help.

IT WAS ALSO FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL

QUESTIONS TO FINISH THE PARC.

Social questions

because it was a big

ceramist team, and a

factory had been built

near the village, so she

was afraid to lost the

“precious hands”.

A new destination for your holidays ?
