Latche, l'esprit des lieux

« Il faut naître en province et toucher aux racines pour comprendre d’instinct les relations des sociétés humaines et du sol où elles vivent. » - François Mitterrand, La Paille et le grain.

Home to the Mitterrand family since 1965, Latche was the former president's base for three decades. Family, friends, and world leaders gathered there for walks, hours of conversation, and some of the defining moments of the century. There, he was a different François Mitterrand, absorbed by the "spirit of the place," far from the trappings of the Republic. An intimate space, Latche was also a political territory open to the world, a powerful diplomatic asset serving the ambitions of its owner.
