When Henri Foch, banker at BNP-Paribas learned of the defection of the new municipality, he was revolted
He buys the old cooperative wine cellar of Montolieu, an Art Deco style building built in 1938 by an association of winegrowers
A new association is created which receives in donation the buildings bought by Henri Foch, and part of the Collection of Cérès Franco.
