Varenne x The Socialite Family

In this former family mansion, lent to the game by Varenne, which Constance Gennari decided to occupy for a few days, the walls still speak. Mural paintings and tapestries adorn the premises. The spectacular entrance welcomed visitors in style. Stripes and gilt adorned the showcase for The Socialite Family's latest creations - to be discovered in earnest on 6 February. On either side of the main entrance hall, a number of openings were also given a special scenography. Pieces from the Puces de Saint-Ouen rubbed shoulders with those of The Socialite Family, surrounded by paintings by contemporary artists on loan from The Curators.

The grand staircase, adorned with a fresco by artist Franck Lebraly, led to other mysteries, including a neo-Moorish study that looked like a hidden smoking room. The hallway with its natural wood panelling carved with shells, the screened-in library, the beautiful terrace with its magnolia tree and, higher up, the seventies' bathroom welcomed us as if in secret, or rather as if at a secret party: to the strains of Italodisco, The Socialite Family and Varenne entertained in rhythm during these few days, assisted by their partners: Sonos, without whom it would have been impossible to dance; Staff Meal, who orchestrated La Scopa's inaugural dinner, from the art of the table to the chef, Justine Pruvot, and every detail of coordination and elegance; and Crumble Production, who created a fantastic scenario of family heritage through their troupe of actors on location, who brought the place to life every day.

In a place that's still alive and kicking, it was hard to know which way to turn. Knock or truth, you had to let yourself be enveloped by a singular and intimate atmosphere.
