On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of this lyrical work, the exhibition retraces the creation of the work and reveals how it echoes the childhoods of its two creators. In the house, family photographs, letters, portraits, and personal objects shed light on their friendship and respective childhoods. On the garden level, 25 original plates of Fantaisie lyrique, the comic strip by Dorothée de Monfreid, published by Dargaud-Charivari in October 2025.
