Closerie Falbala, Architectural monument in Périgny, France
Closerie Falbala is a walk-through artistic creation with curved walls and surfaces covered in black lines that form a cohesive interior space. The structure features shaped rooms designed as interconnected sections.
Jean Dubuffet built this artistic work between 1971 and 1973 as a personal project in southern France. The French government later recognized its artistic value and classified it as a historical monument in 1998.
The rooms display elements from Dubuffet's Hourloupe period with red and blue ballpoint pen drawings and texts written in an invented language. This expressive approach creates a personal, unconventional language that visitors encounter while exploring the walls.
Access requires advance booking through reservations, and the site is visited through guided tours. Plan for approximately ninety minutes to see everything properly.
Visitors enter through a winding corridor called the Antechamber and then reach the Logological Cabinet, a room Dubuffet designed as a place for artistic reflection. This central chamber held special meaning as a space of personal artistic contemplation.
