Le Fruit intégral is a private estate that houses a dance studio dedicated to choreographic creation and a contemporary art collection displayed throughout its park, which has been built up since 2011. Located directly opposite the Moulin’s theatre, the estate also has a cinematic history—it was a filming location for François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows (1959) and Jean-Pierre Améris’ La Joie de Vivre (2011). Interestingly, it was also the testing site for Renault’s first 4CV cars, along an alley lined with 200 linden trees.
The contemporary art collection, which includes unusual objects, often reflects on war and humanity’s fascination with it. The park’s seating furniture evokes a science-fiction and futuristic aesthetic. Most pieces belong to the space-age utopian movement of the 1960s/70s, reflecting a fascination with space exploration.
Park Artists Include:
Marti Folio, La Fratrie, Robuste Odin, Laurent Le Penru, Lucasfilm, Hans-Walter Müller, Laurent Martin, Vincent Mauger, Métalobil, Nicolas Momein, Florian Pugnaire & David Raffini, Romain Reveilhac, Maurice Slotine, Maylis Turtaut.
Contemporary outdoor seating pieces include :
Marco Acerbis, Marc Berthier, Harry Bertoia, Alexander Begge, Luigi Colani, Joe Colombo, Elsie Crawford, Douglas Deed, Stacy Dukes, Aarnio Eero, Patrick Gingembre, Willy Guhl, Nils Gullov, Roger Landault, Vico Magestrati, Guy Mismaque, Olivier Mourgue, Verner Panton, Dominique Prévost & Favriau, Günter Ferdinand Ris & Herbert Selldorf, Philippe Starck, Charles Zublena.
In 2025, the park will welcome a 1969 six-shell bubble house (Maison Maneval) by the Seine and a “Magician’s Hut” designed and built by students from the Nantes School of Architecture (ENSA), under the guidance of Freddy Bernard (Métalobil) and Michel Bertreux.
The Dance Studio
The 130 m² dance studio (10x13 meters) was designed to foster connection with the surrounding natural environment. Fully glass-enclosed, it features two large 5-meter-wide openings, enabling performances to be viewed from outside, especially during WEI! events. It has a sprung floor, a six-speaker sound system (plus two outdoor speakers), eight LED projectors, and a heat pump for heating and cooling. Designed and built by the Métalobil agency, it is surrounded by a wooden-covered exterior walkway, giving it a distinct architectural identity.
The studio is currently used for rehearsals by Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh and by guest artists participating in Week-end Intégral. It was inaugurated during the second edition of WEI!.
Creative Residencies at Le Fruit Intégral
In light of the partnerships established between Pavillon-s, the Moulin d’Andé Association, and CÉCI for WEI !, it now seems essential to strengthen this dynamic by developing a residency program for choreographic creation at the Fruit intégral studio. Currently, CÉCI’s screenwriting residency program enables filmmakers and screenwriters to work in the buccolic setting of the Moulin. Hosting choreographic artists in residence at the Fruit intégral, with lodging provided at the Moulin (35 rooms), would help establish a vibrant artistic community that fosters exchange, dialogue, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
It would also be natural to build bridges between resident choreographers and the WEI ! programming. Residencies would allow artists to become familiar with the unique features of the site and potentially connect with local residents, schools, and middle schools depending on each artist’s interests and practice.
Where possible, further connections could be made with CÉCI’s cultural outreach programs, such as partnerships with the Suzanne Lipinska middle school in Louviers and the cinema-audiovisual section of the Léopold Sédar Senghor high school in Évreux.
In this spirit, Le Fruit intégral seeks to welcome long-term artistic partnerships, offering an inspiring and well-equipped environment for creative work.
