Yvonne Jean-Haffen (October 1895- November 1993) was a Breton artist who had many skills: painting, drawing, ceramics.

She embraced life in Brittany and its culture after her marriage. She depicted pardons, landscapes and seascapes.

In 1937 she and her husband purchased la Grande Vigne, near Rance and Dinan. During the second world war 1940-45 la Grande Vigne became a centre of artistic meeting and activity.

It has been open to the public since 1993. She bequeathed her home as a museum and the artist's studio as a place for artists to come and paint the wonders of Brittany.
