The Twinning Committee is presenting an exhibition of photographs showcasing the heritage of Houilles and its twin cities.
During the summer the Ovillois, but also the inhabitants of the twin cities: Friedrichsdorf in Germany, Chesham in England, Schoelcher in Martinique and Celorico de Basto in Portugal were invited to take pictures of their city from the angle "city of yesterday, city of today". This exhibition presents the photos that have attracted attention through their aesthetics, their symbolism or the way they look at urban transformations.

About the location

Maison Victor-Schœlcher
26 avenue Schœlcher 78800 Houilles
  • Yvelines
  • Île-de-France
The Victor-Schoelcher house enjoys a political voluntarism, with the progressive constitution for more than twenty years of a museum collection (archives, engravings, books, Schoelcher porcelains, etc.), the regular realization of exhibitions dedicated to the illustrious Ovillois (1998, 2004, 2011, 2015…) and activities as part of the twinning since 1998 with the city of Schoelcher (Martinique).
In addition, the Victor-Schoelcher House is regularly open as part of the European Heritage Days.
Every 10 May, it also hosts departmental ceremonies to celebrate the abolition of slavery, and is the subject of occasional guided tours.
