Guided tour of the Alphonse Durand exhibition

Guided tour of the Alphonse Durand exhibition

(c) Ville de Mantes-la-Jolie

The museum presents the first retrospective dedicated to the architect Alphonse Durand (1813-1882). Born in Mantes, this architect trained in the Fine Arts is part of the first list of architects of the Diocesan Building Service constituted by Viollet-le-Duc in 1848. His work on the churches of Vétheuil, the Andelys or the cathedrals of Langres, Coutances and Autun reveals the nascent adventure of the restoration of historical monuments. His work also bears witness to the official architectural taste of the Second Empire in the civil and religious buildings he built in Poitiers, Meaux and Limay. Bringing together the most beautiful plans and drawings drawn by Durand, the exhibition reveals above all his most ambitious work: the collegiate church of Mantes.
In parallel to the exhibition, an outdoor tour takes the visitor to discover the monuments that Durand restored or built near Mantes-la-Jolie. The course has 13 locations in the departments of Yvelines, Eure and Val d'Oise, in 8 cities (Andelys, Vernon, Gisors, Vétheuil, Limay, Mantes-la-Jolie, Port-Mort, Saint-Pierre-de-Bayerleul).
Sunday visits will be conducted by Mrs Roselyne Bussière, co-curator of the exhibition.
A tactile model of the Notre-Dame Collegiate Church is presented to allow people with a visual disability as well as all visitors to discover this great building differently.
A game booklet is available for children from 8 to 12 years old.

Labelled Musée de France in 2002, the Hôtel-Dieu museum is located near the Notre-Dame collegiate church. Built in the fourteenth century under the reign of Charles V and heavily redesigned in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the building underwent new assignments from the eighteenth century: prison under the Revolution, hospice, orphanage then, successively, theatre, café, cinema and ballroom before being acquired by the City in 1962\. The chapel of the Hotel-Dieu was declared a Historical Monument in 1948 for its 17th century facade and listed as a Historical Monument for the rest of the building in 1964\. The restoration of the building completed, the museum was inaugurated in 1996\. The museum houses a lapidary collection from the Collegiate Church and the church of Sainte-Anne de Gassicourt, as well as works by the post-impressionist painter Maximilien Luce (1851-1941), illustrating the themes of the landscape in the Seine Valley, river tourism, industrial growth and the c
