Originally, the Tannayel estate belonged to the Society of Jesus, who had itself received it as compensation from the French Government in the 19th century. Today it has become an eco-tourism destination managed by Arc en Ciel, an association advocating for sustainable agriculture in the region. The music pavilion is part of a project to develop recreational activities for the estate’s visitors and is the first of a series of follies, which will promote vernacular building techniques. Open to the elements, the square planned pavilion offers a versatile performance space for artists and onlookers to gather and share a sensorial voyage.
