The museums of Lisle sur Tarn !!!

Posted in Europe, France

Let me bring you back to update this older post with new pictures from my cd rom vault and some older paper pictures to share with you and me, A wonderful memory to the nostalgic Lisle sur Tarn, in the Tarn deparment no, 81 of the Occitanie region of my belle France. Like I have said,the region is full of amazing small towns all with a rich history on its own,and worth your layover I am sure. The town sits between my other nostalgic cities of Toulouse and Gaillac and in the middle of a wine region, Therefore, this is my take on the museums of Lisle sur Tarn !!! Hope you enjoy this post as I.

The Le Musée Art de Chocolat is right in the place aux couverts aka place Paul Saissac closest to rue Saint Louis upon entering into the town’s center.  The tour is given showing all the major production areas of  cacao, the making of it, the shipping, and of course very good portions of tastings of the end result chocolate from Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Dominican Republic, etc etc etc, just a mouthful, do come over, these are the creation of  maître chocolatier Michel Thomaso-Defos  that makes recreation of figures and places with chocolate done by painter and sculptor Casimir Ferrer ,and sculptors Marie-Madeleine Gautier and  Marta Solsona.

The Museum if the Art of Chocolate is an exhibition space, cultural area and theatre dedicated to chocolate , and there’s even a boutique that is call a ‘chocolatheque’! There’s a permanent exhibition of sculptures and works of art made entirely of chocolate waiting just for you, as well as temporary themed exhibitions and a tasting guide to the ‘grands crus’ of chocolate. The museum also offers tailor-made ‘Discovering Chocolate’ workshops based on themes including wine and chocolate, diet chocolate, tastes and aromas, and making chocolates…Just be here !

The Musée Raymond Lafage invites you for an artistic journey through the centuries. You’ll discover graphic arts from the 17C to the present day: Spread out over 3 levels, come and appreciate the fabulous works of Honoré Daumier, the eminent 19C caricaturist; an etching by Manet, the revolutionary painter who foreshadowed Impressionism; exclusive drawings by Charlie Hebdo; admirable engravings of imaginary landscapes by Gérard Trignac, twice winner of the Velasquez prize; Mikio Watanabé, winner of the Lisle-sur-Tarn Triennial of Intaglio Engravings, undisputed international master of the black manner; and a large collection of drawings by Raymond Lafage, artist, draughtsman and engraver, Michelangelo of his time, exhibited several times at the Louvre, but who died too soon to enjoy the success he deserved

The Musée Raymond Lafage, was at 10 rue Victor Maziés, and now is at the place aux couverts aka place Paul Saissac, It recount the engravings, and drawing of this local artist born here in 1656 and died in 1684 at Lyon , very well known  his work is found in many buildings and museums in France but also in Europe, United States even with individual collectionists

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
