June 12 to October 31, 2024
In the year of the Olympic Games, when the body and sporting exploits take center stage, Le Château de La Bourdaisière hosts the exhibition “Deyrolle, leçons d’Anatomie.”
At a time when sporting feats are in the spotlight, the Château de La Bourdaisière is hosting the “Deyrolle, Anatomy Lessons” exhibition on health and the body, to help us better understand how to take care of it.
This exhibition is the initiative of Louis Albert de Broglie, owner of the premises and Deyrolle, and a committed entrepreneur. It reflects his vision of reconciling Humanity and the Environment, and links the health of the body with the environment: because the health of human beings is closely linked to the health of the planet. Doctor Gérald Kierzek, author of Deyrolle, Leçons d’anatomie, with a preface by Louis Albert de Broglie (ed. Albin Michel), is the exhibition’s medical advisor.
La Bourdaisière, a superb 70-hectare estate, is a laboratory and a venue for numerous exhibitions.
Deyrolle, Leçons d’anatomie will take visitors through 8 artistic and educational stages, most of them in the Château’s grounds, but also in its mysterious cellars. The tour also echoes Deyrolle’s famous anatomical plates, which were the first educational and historical plates published by Deyrolle in the second half of the 19th century. This immersive tour blends nature, art and education, and is designed for young and old alike, with both an emotional and scientific approach.
The exhibition encourages us to reconsider our body as a biodiversity in its own right, to be cared for and learned about, because our body is our most important asset.
In line with school curricula and CSR issues, it also opens its doors to classes and companies alike.
Deyrolle, Leçons d’anatomie, to move well, eat well and feel good. Because we need to take care of people and take care of the planet!

An immersive 8-stage tour combining Science, Art and Nature
Stage 1 – WHERE IT ALL BEGINS…
An introductory stage in the Château’s cellars, with a video by Gérald Kierzek and Louis Albert de Broglie presenting the foreword to this exhibition and paying tribute to the contributors to medicine.
A small photo exhibition on the strange similarities between the universe / the infinitely large and the cells of our body / the infinitely small will also be on view during this stage.
Stage 2 – THE SCIENCE LIBRARY
This section will feature plates from DEYROLLE, LEÇONS D’ANATOMIE, published by Albin Michel.
Stage 3 – L’ÉCOLE DEYROLLE, NATURE ART ÉDUCATION
How does Nature inspire us to reinvent ourselves to care for humans?
A philosophical and societal approach inspired by 19th-century thinkers who reconnected with nature, with an introduction to the Forest School.
Stage 4 – THE FOREST, OUR POUMON
In the middle of the forest, in the middle of the course, a little moment of rest and well-being, in Nature with a net suspended through the trees, like oxygen bubbles in which you can sit and listen to the sounds of the forest… as well as a Wellness and Sylvotherapy course.
Step 5 – NOURISH YOURSELF
In the heart of the National Tomato Conservatory and vegetable garden, this section takes you on a journey through the digestive tract and intestines: the infinitely small world of intestinal flora and health-giving microbes!
Stage 6 – DR K’S CONSULTATION PAVILION
This stage offers medical advice, including instructive videos by Gérald Kierzek, as well as hands-on games to help you better understand your body.
Step 7 – THE BEHAVIORAL CRYPTS
“I’ve decided to be happy because it’s good for my health” (Voltaire).
The “Cabinet du bien-être”, the “Cabinet du sommeil” and the “Cabinet du mal-être” are the 3 parts of this step, and present the means to achieve this Voltairean adage.
Stage 8 – THE ANATOMIC CHAPEL
In the Gothic and Baroque ambience of the Chapelle de La Bourdaisière, this section features works evoking the discovery of human anatomy.
