Reseller Spotlight: La Maison d’Adam – A Medieval Masterpiece in Modern Angers

Tucked away in the historic heart of Angers, France, La Maison d’Adam is an architectural gem dating back to the late 15th century. Adorned with intricate carvings and traditional half-timbered charm, it remains one of the city’s most beloved landmarks. But behind its centuries-old façade lies a modern treasure trove — La Maison des Artisans, a shop dedicated to showcasing handcrafted excellence, including a stunning selection of MOVA Globes.

We caught up with Tristan Raguene from the store to hear more about their passion for artisan craftsmanship, the magic of MOVA Globes, and why Angers is the perfect backdrop for timeless design.

A Timeless Destination for Artisan Craft

La Maison des Artisans offers a thoughtfully curated collection of handmade pieces, each one unique, often signed by the artist, and always a feast for the eyes. From charming trinkets to grand statement pieces, the shop caters to a variety of tastes while placing an emphasis on originality, quality, and visual delight.

“From the simplest of gifts to the most prestigious of pieces, you’ll find a thousand ways to treat yourself or someone special,” Tristan explains. “A visit here is more than shopping — it’s an experience.”

The Magic of MOVA Globes

The team first discovered MOVA Globes at a trade fair and were instantly captivated.

“They’re original, surprising — almost magical,” says Tristan. “We knew immediately we had to feature them in our gallery.”

Customers often do a double-take when they spot the self-rotating globes. The most common questions? “Where’s the battery?” and “Is it plugged in?” The answer, of course, always sparks wonder: no cords, no batteries — just solar power and the Earth’s magnetic field.

A Blend of Antique and Contemporary Style

When it comes to favourites, Tristan doesn’t hesitate:

“We love the Antique High Gloss MOVA Globe. They offer the perfect balance of historic charm and modern elegance — a great fit for our medieval surroundings.”

The shop also carries space-themed globes, relief maps, vintage-inspired pieces, and MOVA Cubes — all of which mesmerise visitors as they spin gracefully with no visible power source.

The History Behind Adam’s House

La Maison d’Adam is more than just a beautiful building — it’s an important part of Angers’ identity.

“It’s one of the oldest half-timbered houses in France and a must-see for anyone interested in medieval history,” says Tristan. “It’s also one of the best-preserved remnants of the King René era.”

Located in Place Sainte-Croix, right in the heart of the old city, it’s a stone’s throw from other iconic sites like:

• Château d’Angers, home to the renowned Apocalypse Tapestries

• Angers Cathedral, with its soaring Gothic architecture

• And, of course, La Maison des Artisans, where you can experience history and design in one remarkable visit
