The artist Annick Leroy was asked to create works related to the places. Indeed, Michel Lamarre, mayor of Honfleur, wanted, in a city that has inspired so many artists, to put art at the heart of this space in order to give it an additional soul.
Annick Leroy therefore created a mosaic fresco recalling the work of the corporation of tanners and dyers.
She also designed two fountain sculptures:
-4 geese spitting water
-a child with an umbrella
as well as a giant snail covered in mosaic.
