Our Social event will take place at the Grenier de Saint Jean (also known as Saint Johns Hospital in English), a Gothic building founded in the 12 century right at the hearth of Angers and that through the ages served this community as a church, a monastery, a hospital, an orphanage and finally a center of modern art. The original building is composed by “The Great Hall for the Sick”, a remarkable landmark in French gothic architecture, the chapel, lodging areas and the cloister, latter other facilities were added trough the times: kitchens, dormitories, and an apoticary that is still partially possibly to visit today.
In 1986 this magnificent Gothic structure was restored and since this date it houses the Jean-Lurçat contemporary museum, housing several artistic pieces between paintings, drawings, ceramics, lithographs and the famous “Chant du Monde” wall-hangings by the artist that name the museum.
