Centre artistique et culturel de Châteauvallon

In 1961, architects Henri and Simone Komatis befriended Gérard and Colette Paquet, who sought a home in the scenic heights of Toulon. The group discovered Châteauvallon, envisioned as a place embodying ideals of creation, freedom, and brotherly connection among individuals. The Komatis and Paquet couples were soon convinced of the site's potential for cultural and artistic development. This led to the rapid formulation of a project aimed at establishing a creative laboratory that harmonizes with nature, fostering a spirit of convergence and synthesis in artistic expression.
