THE VAULT

THE FOUDRES HSE

The Foudres HSE is located at the heart of the Habitation Saint Étienne. Today, the unique architectural structure, recorded on the French Supplementary Historic Monument List, is one of the last and finest examples of the traditional heritage of Martinique.

AREA OF CULTURE

Transformed into an area of culture and art, the Foudres HSE was originally used as an aging cellar. It is an original space, equipped with a bar, a sound system, a projection screen, special lighting for exhibitions, coffee tables, chairs and cosy club chairs… Depending on the setup, it can accommodate 80 to 150 people. The Foudres HSE regularly hosts concerts, conferences, screenings, lectures and live performances: it is a great interactive meeting place, open to artists, researchers, poets, musicians and more.

EXHIBITIONS

Following the inaugural exhibition of 2010 by the photographer Jean-Luc de Laguarigue, “le Pays des Imaginés” (Country of Imagination), which took the visitor on an excursion through the poetical world of Edouard Glissant, Les Foudres HSE have hosted other exhibitions:
