Étretat isn't just a source of inspiration for Pete Doherty; it's also his home. The British musician settled in this idyllic setting, and it was only natural that he chose the majestic cliffs as the backdrop for his latest music video, "The Day the Baron Died."

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, Étretat offers Pete Doherty a haven of peace where he can unleash his creativity. The music video for "The Day the Baron Died" perfectly captures the song's melancholic and poetic atmosphere, in harmony with the raw and wild beauty of the surrounding landscapes.

This track, taken from his upcoming album, reveals a softer, more introspective side of the artist. The images of the cliffs, steeped in history and mystery, blend perfectly with the sensitivity of the melody.

By choosing to live and shoot his music video in Étretat, Pete Doherty demonstrates his attachment to this unique place, where nature and art meet.

His next album Felt Better Alive will be released on May 16th!

On April 28, 1925, the International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts opened. which, through 150 pavilions located in the heart of Paris, marks the triumph of the Art Deco style developed from the 1910s. A symbol of modernity, this new decorative order, which is characterized by the geometrization of lines, the simplification of forms and the use of stylized motifs, is a total art that concerns architecture, sculpture, furniture and decor.

Art Deco in Le Havre

Le Havre did not escape the craze of the Roaring Twenties for this new aesthetic which, between 1919 and 1939, marked monuments as well as buildings, pavilions, shops and cinemas.

One hundred years later, the exhibition presented at the Maison du patrimoine offers an overview of the most remarkable local achievements based on the recent publication by Christine d'Aboville and Patrick Bertrand entitled L'Art déco au Havre et ses environs (OREP éditions, 2024). Their work reveals, despite the destruction of the Second World War, the quality and diversity of the Art Deco heritage in the area that the exhibition and the many events scheduled until the summer will help you rediscover in all the districts.

Temporary exhibition presented from March 8 to August 31, 2025.

This project deploys, in two separate exhibitions, first at the Duchamp gallery in Yvetot and then at the Pêcheries, museum in Fécamp, a montage of objects and images related to acts of healing, either through care or through creation: drawings, films, sculptures, objects, etc.

It is from life experiences in the restricted perimeter of the Pays de Caux, where Vincent Barré and Pierre Creton live and collaborate with Cyril Neyrat, and from the Norman heritage that this work and research are envisaged. It is on this rooting – this motif – that the artists rely to approach the memory of the inhabitants, the sailors, the peasants.

A multidisciplinary, anthropological and artistic approach relating to the territory of the Pays de Caux will be presented based on the museum's collections, ex-votos and the question of care, real or symbolic.
The exhibition catalogue, published by Octopus , brings together a series of texts that highlight ex-voto in their historical and artistic dimension. These essays question the different meanings of the ex-voto, across centuries and continents, in a material, philosophical and anthropological approach.

Nature walk to discover the history of the cliffs, the origin of chalk and flint, the formation of arches and needles... Observation of cliff birds and recognition of seaside plants.
