Manifesto is supporting the City of Chartres with the programming of its project for a cultural and tourist facility under the esplanade of Chartres Cathedral.

The project is part of the redevelopment of the Notre-Dame cloister, the city's historic district, which will eventually offer an ambitious range of heritage, cultural and tourist attractions: renovation of the Musée des Beaux Arts, Maison Internationale de la Cosmétique, opening of the Cathedral Treasury, relocation of the Maison du Tourisme.

The cultural facilities are designed to highlight the region's rich heritage. At the same time, an innovative and sensitive visitor experience will be offered, immersing visitors in Gallo-Roman remains discovered between 1990 and 1992.

For this project, Manifesto is collaborating with the COSB agency on programming and technical studies, Caroline Fournier, museographer with the Fragments Libres agency, and the legal and financial expertise of the SCET group.
