A la Ronde is an 18th century 16-sided building located near Lympstone, Exmouth, in Devon. It is a Grade I listed building. The house was built for Mary and Jane Parminter and contains numerous examples of their artistic practices inspired by their European Grand Tour travels. Full details of the opportunity can be found in the Request for Proposal Document.
