La Maison Maria Casarès

Summer Season

Each summer, the theatrical team based at La Maison Maria Casarès in Alloue open the house and grounds to visitors with a variety of projects

This year an ambitious programme of events is scheduled for each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of their summer season running from 22nd July until 22nd August. Although presented in French, most of the performances should be accessible even if your language skills are not that great.

15:00-19:00 Gardens

The gardens are free to visit in the afternoon during the season

15:00-19:00 Readings from the letters between Maria Casarès and Albert Camus

Over 800 letters, often intimate, between the couple were published a couple of years ago. A continuous selection of readings from these letters illuminates Maria Casarès' home where she retreated after the death of Albert Camus in a tragic road accident.
