A 19th century country house full of antique furniture and musical instruments from all over the world. It is secluded in the Westerwald, surrounded by a huge garden with a jungle-like grove. The landlord: Yannick Monot - globetrotter and musician from Brittany. The collector has decorated his living quarters with furniture and accessories from the 1950s and the Art Deco style, as well as African handicrafts brought back from travels and flea markets. There are French mahogany cabinets from Napoleon's time next to Art Deco furniture with filigree wood inlays. Yannick has placed his record player in a hinged Art Deco cocktail bar. At the window with a view of the greenery is a dainty ladies' desk from the 1920s. Cinema lamps, kidney tables and colorful vases from the 1950s bring color into the rooms. Guitars and also exotic musical instruments, masks and figurines from African countries like Madagascar or Mali, create a special globetrotting flair. The accordionist and guitarist has dedicated himself to the music from the southern states of the USA, which French immigrants had brought there: Cajun and Zydeco. Yannick combines these styles with blues, jazz, country, Afro-Creole rhythms, world and folk music. He sings his songs mostly in his native language, French. The musician has lived for 38 years with his partner Christa, who helps decorate the house and garden with her ceramic art. The house itself dates back to the days when mining was still practiced in the region - it was domicile for the miners and their families. When Yannick and Christa bought the house in 1983, it was completely run down - a ruin. They had to renovate everything: Electricity, water, walls - over years of work, they created their own realm of antique furniture, music, art and nature. The work on the house actually never stops - the globetrotting villa has grown with them and grows with them.
