A house that is 100% inspired by the Loire River and other waterways

In the Anjou region, the Loire River has its own dedicated center, and so do the world’s other great rivers. Loire Odyssée, managed by the Maison de Loire en Anjou association, is a dynamic space dedicated to rivers, featuring a biennial exhibition on the world’s major rivers. Across 140 square meters of exhibition space, we share knowledge and experiences, inviting visitors of all ages to marvel at the richness of rivers and to understand the human cultures that surround them.

While our temporary, interactive exhibitions explore a different world river every two years, combining fun and current issues, our permanent exhibition on the Loire, designed nearly ten years ago, now requires a major overhaul. In response to the current challenges facing rivers and the evolving expectations of our visitors, this new exhibition will be more immersive, aesthetically appealing, and artistic.

Our initiative aims to immerse the public in the hidden, yet powerful, life of the Loire, revealing its majesty and vulnerabilities, thus fostering greater awareness and a renewed connection with this iconic river.
