CONCERT HALL : SAINT-LEONARD CHAPEL
Built in the 11th century along the banks of the Loir river, the Chapel is located beside the residence
Combining 
their know-how in design and acoustics, Agnès YAMAKADO and Pierric GUENNEGAN coordinated the restauration of the Chapel that was completed in 2017.
The Chapel thus began a new life becoming an auditorium and a recording studio thanks to its architectural qualities and acoustic improvements. It is also a cultural centre open to all with a capacity of 50 seated guests.
A venue for concerts, exhibitions, conferences, film viewing, workshops, ceremonies, banquet…
the Chapel can also be rented for private events.
It now hosts the annual Festival Musical Durtal.
BOUT DU MONDE RESIDENCE FOR ARTISTS
Over 1000 years of heritage.
A narrow corridor separates the Chapel from the newly transformed stone building.
Extensive renovation took place starting in 2018 so as to restore the structure to its original architectural and historical state.
The thick concrete shrouds have been stripped away revealing the ancient stone walls and wooden beams, thus giving birth to the artist residence with lodging on the upper floor, an independent studio for the maestro, a living room and a kitchen.
Located on the river’s edge, with a spectacular view of the Durtal Castle.

A haven of peace at the end of a cul-de-sac that is actually the beginning of the Saint-Leonard street, best known for the exceptional view.
It is the home of a « Toue Cabanée », a traditional flat-bottomed barge/houseboat.
The gardens are a wonderful place to sit and relax where concerts from the Chapel are broadcasted. After-concert cocktails and receptions are held in the Spring, Summer and Fall.
An exceptional setting for artists, especially musicians, to rehearse and perform or record in the Chapel
