râce with the creation of the Foundation Feast in 1976, the Castle of Feast awoke long sleep which he had known since 1918 when the Engel Family had left it to go to live the more practical buildings of Chartreuse. It is now arranged to receive seminars, conferences, exposures, concerts, receptions and other demonstrations public, each year more.
