<h2><strong>FOR THE PAST 32 YEARS, LA FABULOSERIE HAS PRESERVED IN ITS <em>INHABITED GARDEN</em> LE MANÈGE DE PETIT PIERRE. </strong></h2>

<p><a href="http://FABULOSERIE.com" target="_blank"><strong>La Fabuloserie</strong></a>, which opened in 1983 to the public, was devised and completed by the architect Alain Bourbonnais so as to shelter his collection of “hors-les-normes art”.</p>
<p>This appellation was suggested to <strong>Alain Bourbonnais</strong> by <strong>Jean Dubuffet</strong>, who wanted the name of “art brut” to be reserved for his own collection. It refers to out of the ordinary creations made by self-taught artists.</p>
<p>After opening a gallery, <strong>the Atelier Jacob</strong>, in Paris, <strong>Alain Bourbonnais</strong> decided to create, with his wife <strong>Caroline</strong>, a museum he called “<strong>La Fabuloserie</strong>”. It is composed of a “museum-house” in which over a thousand works are exhibited, ranging from the drawings by <strong>Yanko Domsic</strong> to the “bourrages” (characters made of stuffed body stockings) by <strong>Francis Marshall</strong>, and the amazing series of “Turbulents” by <strong>Alain Bourbonnais</strong> himself. An open-air museum, called “the inhabited garden”, displays the sculptures of “habitants-paysagistes” (inhabitants/landscape-artists): <strong>Camille Vidal, Jules Damloup, Jean Bertholle’s </strong>weather vanes and <strong>Petit Pierre</strong> with his astonishing “manège” (merry-go-round).</p>

<h2>2021 SAVING : PHASES OF THE PROJECT </h2>
<p>Cyril Choux, a craftsman specialized in work-at-height with pruning/ climbing skills, has been working for several years in the inhabited garden of La Fabuloserie. Since he participated to the cable-stayed of the Eiffel Tower, Mr. Choux feels concerned about its conservation, and warned us in January about its alarming state.</p>

<p><strong>The raising of 25,000 euros will finance the entire project</strong></p>
<p><strong>The work is planned for early May 2021 and the duration of the intervention is estimated at 10 days. </strong></p>
