Gallery Philippe Artidor

Permanent Exhibition: Ta'Nawa Museum – Arts of the Peoples of Black Africa From May 8 to September 30, 2025 Visit by reservation only Adults: €7 – Children under 12: €5 The Ta'Nawa Museum – Arts of the Peoples of Black Africa offers a guided presentation by Philippe Artidor on the theme of Black African cultures, showcasing ritual objects rooted in animist traditions. This unique venue invites visitors to discover objects made of stone, wood, plant materials, and terracotta, originating from the African continent and spanning a period of 1,000 years. All of these objects are linked to animist rituals practiced throughout Africa. They bear witness to the beliefs and spiritual practices once shared by all human societies—before the rise of polytheism and later monotheism. These objects are not sacred, but respected as tools, each serving a specific ritual purpose within the community.

Tour of the Hazelnut Orchards

Commonly referred to as a "casserie," this facility is dedicated to the extraction of hazelnuts, where the shell is separated from the nut to recover the inside before it is sent to chocolateries. The estate was acquired in 2015 by a renowned French chocolatier. Founded in 1871, the SCHAAL house is a historic reference in the production of French chocolate. In 1967, the BURRUS family, chocolatiers since 1912, took over this artisanal factory, continuing the tradition while expanding its horizons. Over time, the house has become a benchmark brand, committed to values of authenticity, taste exploration, and generosity (cultivation of cocoa, coffee, tea, orchards, etc.). It became evident for us to develop the cultivation of hazelnuts and almonds in Lot-et-Garonne, ensuring the production of exceptional fruits. We also maintain several vineyard plots for the “Côte de Duras” appellation, known for its characterful wines. Today, with 400 hectares of hazelnut orchards, we have designed our shop to showcase hazelnuts in all their forms through our chocolates and a wide range of products (pâtés, beer, oil, flour, etc.), crafted in collaboration with local artisans. Tours are available year-round by appointment: €5 per person Shop hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM – Saturday, 10 AM to 1 PM
