At 22, rue du Repos in Chartres, in a rather remote area, is the Picasiette house. Until now, it has only opened its doors to visitors freely.
From now on, it is possible to discover this place in more detail for an hour, every Sunday. “It is planned like that until the end of August, but I hope that it will last longer”, explains Véronique Domagalski, the tour guide. “It’s better than a free visit, because it gives you access to rooms that are usually closed. This allows you to know the history of the house and what happened there. “

In Adrienne’s skin
In dressmaker’s outfit, Véronique Domagalski puts herself in the shoes of Adrienne Isidore, Raymond’s wife, and tells the story of her husband and her house: “I’m trying to get into his head. I’ve been working for four months and I still need to polish it. I read books, the press and I go to the media library. His grandsons also help me understand how to play his role ”.
She continues: “I like it, it makes the visit more lively. There are guides who learn word by word, I prefer to get in the mood. “

The guide adds: “I’m always afraid of forgetting something, but when you learn, you only get the essentials out of it. In the evening, I will remember things that I would not have mentioned in the morning visit. Next time it will be different and I will talk about things that I forgot today and vice versa “, she explains. Next guided tour, Sunday August 1st at 11 am.
