Vassivière Island

Highlight • Lake

We arrive on the Island of Vassivière by a footbridge forbidden to cars. On the island, we discover the International Center for Art and Landscape and the old castle.

In the gardens 63 works are scattered in the "sculpture wood".

The Château de Vassivière is next to the International Center for Art and Landscape, built by the architects Aldo Rossi and Xavier Fabre.

The building is rarely visited but is visible from the outside, where we discover many contemporary sculptures.
