The Aven River has historically been a guiding thread in the urban development of Pont-Aven. We aim to continue this connection with the city through this blue artery by constructing modern mills along the river's path, echoing the original 14 landmarks. This innovative blend of nostalgia and modernity seeks to be experienced through all five human senses: smell, touch, taste, hearing, and sight. By placing these new landmarks throughout the city, we extend the "painters' promenade," creating a continuous loop that seamlessly integrates past and present. This project offers a fresh interpretation of the relationship with water, set within a vibrant, hilly landscape accessible to all. Living among the trees provides a unique residential experience, which we bring to life in this visionary endeavor.
