colorful cells




At Hôtel La Prison, some of our cells have traded in their austere walls to become real works of art! To give these spaces steeped in history a new soul, we gave artist Fanny Bonon carte blanche. Armed with her brushes and overflowing imagination, she has transformed these old cells into living canvases, where colors and shapes dance on the walls of the old times. Each room painted by Fanny is an invitation to fantasize, to escape (symbolically, of course 😉 ) and to discover a unique universe!

Upcoming Exhibition at Hôtel La Prison



From December 13th to March 15th – Free access from 8 AM to 8 PM

We are honored to host the original works of Elisabeth Daynès , an internationally renowned visual artist and paleo-artist. Her work, at the intersection of art and science, explores the human figure and the body in the contemporary era.

Elisabeth Daynès delves into the lost body, between past and future, inviting us to a deep reflection on our existence in an age of narcissistic mirrors and virtual realities. With a unique vision, she opens a door to a waiting room of the future, offering "ready-to-live bodies" to the hackers of evolution.

For this artist, time becomes a material to shape. "We were diversity, we become diversity again." A captivating and visionary exhibition not to be missed!


From April 6, our next exhibition will honor two artists with singular universes.





Marie-Ange Daudé




Marie-Ange Daude, an exceptional visual artist, takes us into a world where texture and light meet with poetry. Through her works, she explores the subtle relationships between humans and their environment, playing with textures, shapes and colors. Her work, often introspective, invites reflection on our place in the world and how we perceive the reality around us.

Magalie Darsouze




Magalie Darsouze, an artist of great finesse, takes us into a world where memory, time and intimacy intersect through the precision of graphite. Her works, often charged with emotions and reminiscences, reveal scenes imbued with nostalgia and poetry.
