François Willème is a complete artist, both photographer, sculptor and painter. The exhibition organized by the association Urbi & Orbi with the support of the Department of Heritage and the Society of History and Archaeology of Sedan allows to discover these different aspects of his work. The exhibition particularly highlights the work of François Willème as a photographer for the city of Sedan in the 1870s. The artist is called by the mayor of the time Auguste Philippoteaux to photograph the destruction of the ramparts and the construction of the new city, freed from its imposing fortifications.

These former bathhouses, built from 1913 to 1921, were transformed into the Maison des Syndicats in the early 1980s. Damaged by a disaster in 2010, the building was restored, equipped with a new extension to install a Centre of Interpretation of Architecture and Heritage (CIAP).
The Heritage House is a Centre of Interpretation of Architecture and Heritage: a place that presents Sedan in its urban, historical and architectural dimension.
This equipment aims to give residents and tourists the keys to understanding the heritage of the city of Sedan. It includes a permanent exhibition and a temporary exhibition room. There are signs, but also videos, models, materials, and elements to handle.
