The friends of Claude Debussy at Bichain
Friends of Claude Debussy in Bichain
Bichain is a hamlet of Villeneuve-la-Guyard (89340), located in the north of the Yonne, on the border with Seine-et-Marne. Claude Debussy and his wife Lily spent several summers in this hamlet , Claude working on several of his major works there. The house occupied by the couple was bought by the commune.
A team of enthusiasts is now working to restore this house, in order to turn it into a museum and a center for artistic activities.
A first screening of the film "Claude Debussy, Three Summers in Bichain" directed by Christophe Monier, written by Marie-Jeanne Baeli, took place on May 31, at the Villeneuve-la-Guyard multi-purpose hall following the General Assembly of the Friends of Claude Debussy in Bichain association.
This 55-minute film will be screened in the future Maison Debussy, currently under construction, when it opens at the end of the year.
It will serve as a "guide" for visitors.
