Confirmed holdings include Relais de Chambord, Hangar Y in Meudon, Aura Invalides in Paris, and Pleyel en mouvement in Saint-Denis. It also owns Beaux Arts Magazine and Le Quotidien de l'Art. Geographic focus remains France, with no disclosed positions outside the country. Capital deploys through direct ownership rather than fund commitments. No headcount or additional offices are recorded. Adjacent vehicles consist of the Art Explora Foundation and ArtNova. Frédéric Jousset previously served as president of HEC Alumni from 2018 to 2021 and holds memberships in Le Siècle and CroissancePlus.
