Agenda

From March 23rd to October 27th: Thevenet Breakfast

Thevenet was born in Bruges in 1874 and lived in Halle from 1916 until his death in 1930. Much of his work was therefore created in Halle. Thevenet had a musical background; he played the cello and the harmonium himself. His interest in music is reflected in his paintings through the frequent representation of the cello.

Also at Villa Servais, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Louis Thevenet’s birth in collaboration with the City of Halle. From April to October, you can admire 15 of Thevenet’s paintings at Villa Servais.

From March 23rd to October 27th, the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday breakfast will be extended to a Thevenet Breakfast buffet featuring new Thevenet products such as cheese, pâté, sausage, meatballs, pastries, chocolate, and tea. Even the afternoon tea will have a Thevenet touch during this period. Everything is deliciously locally sourced from producers in Halle. During breakfast and afternoon tea, you can also admire the paintings.

At other times, there is a free exhibition at Villa Servais at the following times:

  • The first Saturday of each month from 1 pm to 2 pm
  • The first Sunday of each month from 5 pm to 6 pm
