44 Boulevard Lundy is now home to Philanthropic ArsNova’s shop window, La Belle Enchantée.
The charitable trust, set up by Maison Taittinger in 2023, had used the site as a hub for its activities and has more recently turned it into a centre for culture, discovery, creative expression and wonder.
It first opened to the public on 20 September to coincide with the Relais du Goût Festival and Heritage Days. Reims residents flocked to the venue on the day, with almost 3,000 visitors eager to discover work on display by Art Nouveau and contemporary artists, the building’s architecture (its history dates back to 1876), its renovation, and its exceptionally large garden in the heart of Reims.
Food was also on the menu throughout the day, with cooking workshops for children in the courtyard, a talk from chef Georgiana Viou and a tasting by L’extrA, an inclusive gourmet restaurant based in Reims.
And this is just the first of many opportunities to visit La Belle Enchantée… The venue is now dedicated to hosting private collectors’ exhibitions and artist residencies.
We will keep you posted on upcoming events.
