Welcome to the Dozulé market

Far from the hustle and bustle of the major seaside resorts, the Dozulé market offers a true immersion into the heart of the Pays d'Auge region. Every Tuesday morning, the village square awakens and comes alive with a gentle, familiar energy. Local producers and artisans gather there to passionately share the fruits of their labor, filling their stalls with seasonal vegetables, distinctive cheeses, and Norman specialties. The Dozulé Market takes place every Tuesday morning, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., in the Place de la Mairie (Town Hall Square).

Gwendoline Blondeel In 2021, Mondoville's Titon et l’Aurore, conducted by William Christie and directed by Basil Twist, revealed Belgian soprano Gwendoline Blondeel in the role of Aurora: admirable vocal technique, luminous timbre, and a striking stage presence, she literally lit up the stage of the Opéra-Comique in Paris. Trained at the IMEP in Namur and a laureate of the La Monnaie Theatre Academy in Brussels, Gwendoline then joined the Young Ensemble of the Grand Théâtre de Genève. From 2019 onward, she established herself as a rising star, winning First Prize at the Froville Competition. Gwendoline has become a highly sought-after interpreter of 17th- and 18th-century music, but she also explores a much broader repertoire, extending to composers as diverse as Delibes and Offenbach. This is evidenced by the diversity of scores performed with conductors such as William Christie (Titon and L’Aurore, Couperin’s Leçons de Ténèbres, Bach’s Magnificat…), Leonardo García Alarcón (Rossi’s Il Palazzo Incantato, Handel’s Solomon, Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine…), Diego Fasolis (Vivaldi’s La Senna Festeggiante), Jérémie Rhorer (Mozart’s The Magic Flute), Jean-Christophe Spinosi (Rossini’s L’italiana in Algeri), Alejo Perez (Prokofiev’s War and Peace), and Kazushi Ono (Honegger’s Joan of Arc at the Stake). The last two seasons have been particularly fruitful: debuts at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with Les Arts Florissants; Her first concerts were at the Berlin Philharmonie and then at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and Vox Luminis in Bach's St. Matthew Passion; Charpentier's David et Jonathan with Correspondances and Sébastien Daucé in a production directed by Jean Bellorini in Caen, Nancy, Paris, Luxembourg, Madrid, Lille, and Lyon. At the Opéra de Liège, she sang her first Barbarina in Le Nozze di Figaro (Christophe Rousset, Emilio Sagi), also making her US debut with Opera Lafayette in the first modern revival of Rameau's opera-ballet Io. The summer of 2024 proved intense. At the Beaune Festival, Gwendoline tackled two major Handel roles: Morgana in Alcina (Les Épopées, Stéphane Fuget) and Almirena in Rinaldo (Les Accents, Thibault Noally). As artist-in-residence at the Festival de Wallonie, she gave no fewer than eight concerts there, collaborating with the Cappella Mediterranea (Leonardo García Alarcón) and the Justin Taylor Consort. She will reunite with this ensemble at the Auditorium de Radio France for Monteverdi’s Vespers of the Virgin, conducted by Lionel Sow. The Royal Opera of Versailles has become a favorite venue for Gwendoline: in addition to concerts (Le Carnaval du Parnasse with Alexis Kossenko, Lully’s Atys with Christophe Rousset, and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with Valentin Tournet), she garnered acclaim as Blondchen in Mozart’s The Abduction from the Seraglio, conducted by Gaétan Jarry and directed by Michel Fau, before her equally masterful portrayal of Frasquita in Bizet’s Carmen (directed by Hervé Niquet and Romain Gilbert). Her performance as Marie in Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment (Gaétan Jarry and Jean-Romain Vesperini) was acclaimed for her vocal virtuosity and exceptional stage presence. Gwendoline also maintains a regular collaboration with Reinoud Van Mechelen and his ensemble A nocte temporis, performing the great French repertoire. The 2025/2026 season will see her further expand her repertoire. In Versailles, she will sing Clorinda in a French version of Rossini's La Cenerentola (conducted by Gaétan Jarry and directed by Julien Lubek and Cécile Roussat), then Dalinda in Handel's Ariodante (Stefan Plewiak and Nicolas Briançon), before singing Messiah with the Royal Opera Orchestra and reprising The Abduction from the Seraglio (the production will also be performed at the Opéra de Tours). Let us mention her first collaboration with Philippe Herreweghe in Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 2 "Lobgesang" (Symphony No. 2), her debut at the Zurich Opera in Leclair's Scylla et Glaucus (with Emmanuelle Haïm and Claus Guth), and Rameau's Les Boréades in a concert version with A Nocte Temporis (Toulouse, Bruges, Versailles, etc.). Gwendoline is very active in the recording world, most recently with a new version of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo with Les Épopées; the world premiere of Elisabeth Jacquet's opera La Guerre, Céphale et Procris with A Nocte Temporis; Philippe d'Orléans' La Jérusalem délivrée with La Cappella Mediterranea; Mondonville's Le Carnaval du Parnasse with Les Ambassadeurs; and Mozart's Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots with Il Caravaggio for the Versailles Chateau Spectacle label. His next album will be released by Harmonia Mundi in the fall of 2025.

Mathilde Vialle Mathilde began playing the viola da gamba at the age of 8 at the Bordeaux Conservatory (CNR) in the class of Paul Rousseau. After studying for two years with Matthieu Lusson at the Poitiers Conservatory (CNR), she entered the Lyon Conservatory (CNSM) in the class of Marianne Muller. She continued her studies with Philippe Pierlot and Mieneke Van der Velden at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. A prizewinner in several international competitions, she performs with various ensembles such as Ensemble Correspondances (Sébastien Daucé), Les Arts Florissants (William Christie)... She founded the Duo Coloquintes with violinist Alice Julien-Laferrière. They have recorded three albums: Forberger en tête à tête (Son an Ero, 2016), Louis Couperin en tête à tête (Seulétoile, 2019), and Music for Two (Seulétoile, 2025). She also dedicates herself to the repertoire for two viols with violist Myriam Rignol (à deux violes esgales, 2021, Château de Versailles Spectacles). In September 2019, she recorded François Couperin's Pièces de viole avec la basse chiffrée, released in 2021 on the Château de Versailles label and awarded a "Choc" by Classica magazine. She performs in concert with theorbo player Thibaut Roussel and co-directs several recording projects with him, including The Last Rose (Harmonia Mundi, Stradivari, 2025). An album devoted to the third book of pieces for viol by M. Marais will be released in 2026 (Mirare). Mathilde is a co-founder of the Cantate à Tours concert series, which presents a Bach cantata each month at the Temple de Tours. Mathilde taught viola da gamba at the second and third academies of the Pays d’Auge region alongside Lucile Richardot, Damien Guillon, Thibaut Roussel, and Sébastien Daucé in July 2024 and July 2025. Since September 2023, she has been a visiting professor at the Pôle Aliénor (a higher education center in Poitiers).
