Impact Trophy 2026 - from Fondation du Patrimoine

The Fondation du Patrimoine has just awarded its 2026 Impact Trophy to the restoration project for the "Maison du Palmier", led by the Fondation Les Arts Florissants - William Christie in Thiré (Vendée, Pays de la Loire).  

This trophy, awarded each year by the Fondation du Patrimoine, recognizes exemplary heritage restoration projects that have a direct positive impact on their local area. The rehabilitation of the Maison du Palmier, located in the heart of the village of Thiré, will contribute to the expansion of the Quartier des Artistes, the international cultural and artistic campus of Les Arts Florissants, designed in close collaboration with local residents and partners.

What a wonderful boost for Les Arts Florissants' unique cultural project in the Vendée, firmly rooted locally and open to the world!
