Coubertin Foundation, Foundation and museum in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, France.
The Coubertin Foundation is a foundation and museum in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse with workshops dedicated to metalwork, woodwork, stone carving, and bronze casting. The estate spans a large property with a castle and several workshop buildings.
The foundation was established in 1973 and honors the legacy of Yvonne de Coubertin and the ideals of modern Olympism. It continued a tradition of linking craftsmanship with cultural values.
The foundation displays sculptures by artists such as Joseph Bernard both inside and throughout the grounds. These works shape how the place looks and give visitors a sense of artistic craftsmanship.
The site opens on weekends between 13:30 and 18:00. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are large and paths lead to various workshops and exhibition areas.
Young craftspeople learn traditional techniques here and create architectural elements that are later used in monument restoration projects worldwide. This hands-on work connects training with real-world projects.
