The grotto by Niki de Saint Phalle

January - December
1 hour

Welcome to our fascinating guided tour of the Grotto by Niki de Saint Phalle! This unique art installation in the Great Garden is a masterpiece that appeals to the senses and inspires the imagination.

Originally built in 1676, the grotto served as a cool retreat during the hot summer months. Its walls were once decorated with shells, crystals and minerals, creating a mystical atmosphere. In the 1990s, the grotto was restored and remodelled by the world-famous artist Niki de Saint Phalle to present it for the EXPO world exhibition.

Today, the grotto impresses with its colourful and sparkling rooms, designed by Niki de Saint Phalle with her unmistakable artistic signature. Let yourself be enchanted by the vibrant colours, imaginative shapes and inspiring atmosphere.

During our guided tour, we will explore the different areas of the grotto, discover its history and understand Niki de Saint Phalle's creative vision. Look forward to an unforgettable experience in a space that combines art, nature and magic in a unique way!
