This cultural site presents the painter Suzanne Valadon, who was born in Bessines-sur-Gartempe in 1865 and died in Paris in 1938. Visitors will discover views of the artist's native village and the Butte de Montmartre. In Paris, she rubbed shoulders with great painters such as Puvis de Chavanne, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas... Maria the model became Suzanne the painter. The Espace also evokes her son Maurice Utrillo, another world-famous painter. The tour ends with a painter's studio, faithfully recreated as it was in Suzanne Valadon's day.
