At the ‘Grande vigne’ in Dinan, you enter the world of Yvonne Jean-Haffen, independent 20th century artist, friend of Mathurin Méheut and lover of Brittany.

The ‘maison d’artiste de la Grande vigne’, overlooking the port at Dinan, was the home, workplace and inspiration of the painter Yvonne Jean-Haffen (1895-1993), student and friend of Mathurin Méheut. At the end of her life, the artist donated to Dinan her home, her collection of over 4000 works (paintings, sketches, ceramics, posters, prints, photographs and illustrated works), and her library, as well as some 1400 illustrated letters from Méheut. It was Méheut who helped her discover Art Deco and Brittany, the latter proving to be a subject that was to become a favourite source of inspiration for her work. A keen traveller, she also worked in the United States, as well as painting interior decors in a dozen transatlantic liners belonging to the large shipping companies.
