After seven years of renovation, the medieval Château d'Aubenas, a prestigious heritage site in the south of France, has opened its doors as a Centre d'Art Contemporain et Patrimonial.
Visitors can now discover this magnificently restored heritage site. This jewel of medieval architecture is in dialogue with contemporary art, offering a rich program of exhibitions, tours and events, and has become an essential cultural and tourist venue in the Ardèche.
Six to seven solo and group exhibitions a year showcase the work of artists of all generations. At the same time, the Château hosts a wide range of cultural events, including residencies, conferences, concerts and performances. The Château's team, curators and invited cultural actors all contribute to offering singular points of view and new ways of reading the world.
