Les Franciscaines
Located in a former convent in Deauville, Les Franciscaines is a mix between a museum, a multimedia library, an auditorium, and creative spaces. Far from the intimidating stereotype of traditional cultural organisations, it is a hub of exchanges where cultural interpretation plays a key role. Since its opening in 2021, Les Franciscaines has welcomed more than 800 000 visitors. “As soon as you come in, we welcome you with a smile and offer to show you around,” says Bérangère Descamps, in charge of the education department. “We want you to come away with an emotion, a thought, something that moved you,” she adds. This is achieved by four museum interpreters supported by sixty volunteers, all equally passionate. Beyond its permanent collections, this year Les Franciscaines will plunge you into the ocean through its exhibitions Deep Blue: the Ocean revealed ; and Pierre & Gilles: Marine Worlds. A journey between art, science, and imagination alongside those who make up the heartbeat of Les Franciscaines.
