Happening in March 2021

The Bourse de Commerce is a new site in Paris where works from the Collection Pinault are displayed. Dedicated to contemporary art seen through the prism of the collection, it presents thematic displays and monographic exhibitions, as well as new productions, commissioned works, carte blanche events and in situ projects. Open to everyone and every artistic discipline, the Bourse de Commerce offers educational programmes, conferences and meetings, screenings, concerts and performances.

François Pinault has channeled his passion for contemporary into assembling one of the most important collections in the world today: it now includes more than five thousand works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His approach is fed by his commitment to sharing his passion for art with as broad an audience as possible, and to accompanying artists as they explore new territories.

Unusual, educational, playful, disquieting, astonishing, there is no shortage of adjectives to evoke the Museum of Counterfeiting. Unique of its kind, this museum remains confidential, despite its more than 60 years of existence!

The Museum of Counterfeiting presents several hundred objects in six rooms. It brings together a wide variety of collections ranging from the biggest luxury brands to everyday products, including industrial and artwork.

The Vauban Tower, admirably built and preserved, is the finest example of a low-battery sea fort and tower gorge that exists and is part of the Vauban fortifications included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is located in Camaret-sur-Mer, on the Crozon peninsula in Finistère.

The Lagatjar alignements are an intriguing arrangement of stones, mostly consisting of large white quartz blocks on open common land, just to the west of the fishing town of Camaret, in the far west of the Crozon Peninsula, Finistere, Brittany. There are probably over a hundred stones, mostly aligned into three lines, but there are some outliers as well.

The longest line is over 200 metres in length and has an orientation of 037°. From this line are two rows of larger blocks, heading off at right angles on bearing 317° for the northern row, which is approximately straight and 60 metres in length. The southern row is about 50 metres away, and heads off at 315°, but curves towards the west away from the baseline. Perhaps these two rows once joined up to form a horseshoe ?

South of the main line are three large grey stones, a single one at the west and a pair to the east. These three stones are aligned with each other.
