A PLACE OF EXCEPTION

A PLACE OF EXCEPTION FOR THE NEW INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE CLASS
The International Arts Campus will settle in Les Héronnières, an integral part of the Château de Fontainebleau estate, but only after undergoing extensive renovations and improvements, this in order to restore the historic district to its full splendor and its rightful place in the heart of the national domain, the city and the territory.


The International Arts Campus was chosen by the Ministry of Culture and the Public Establishment of the Château de Fontainebleau after a procedure, initiated in 2016. It actually aimed at the conversion of the monumental heritage of the Héronnières and its close environment. The Campus will contribute to the urban, economic and socio-cultural regeneration of this historic district.

Extensive work will be undertaken by the SAS International Arts Campus to renovate the 12,000 m2 of the heritage complex. Other infrastructure will be built on the land called “Clos des Ébats”. The site of nearly 7 hectares will be a fertile place for study, work and collaboration but also of collective life in its own right. This place will consist of educational, professional, artistic and cultural premises, as well as of residence for students, an Arts Park, coffee works, bars, restaurants and many emblematic public spaces. It will guarantee a quality of life, of encounters, of serendipity and of creative synergies.
