Anaïs Mérat

Passionate since her childhood by artistic practices, sewing, history and the discovery of heritage, Anaïs Mérat has guided her entire school career to combine these fields and make it her profession today. We all need dreams and imaginations. This is what allows us to access the costume by dressing characters from historical or fantastic worlds. This is why, since 2019, Anaïs Mérat is a craftsman of art to put the costume at the service of all dreams. She designs and creates custom costumes for historic and fantastic heritage places, for lovers of historical re-enactment and for the show. Exceptionally, two costumes made by Anaïs Mérat are presented all weekend in front of the Renaissance sculptures, allowing us to imagine the richness of the fabrics and the shimmering colors of these sculptures if they took life!

He(It) presents a rich facade typical of architecture Renaissance, with his(its) decoration(set) of front walls(pediments), cartouches(cartridges), cherubs, garlands. Two turrets frame(supervise) this detached house(flag) the 16th century, from which the one shelters a staircase with screw. The conical roofs are adorned with elegant ears of ridgepole topped with a sun and with a moon. He(It) is built in the location of a convent which depended on the cistercienne abbey on Vauluisant (Yonne) in the 12th century. In 1524, this house is destroyed by the fire which devastates a lot of the city of Troy. By 1550, Antoine Hennequin builds the detached house(flag) with turrets. The body of the building(ship) in return for carpenter's square is raised(brought up) to the 17th century by the famous family Mesgrigny which leaves the building(ship) in 1826\. During many years, it is the seat(siege) of the Trojan Great circle which organises balls and other festivities there. Having bought by the City of Troy in 1932 to make a decorative, secondary art museum of the museum of Fine Arts, he shelters currently collections evoking art champenois of the 16th century and the history(story) of the hosiery.
