PRESS RELEASE
« Sur la plupart de ces quais au-delà de
Notre-Dame ne figure aucun monument
illustre […]. Ils sont les décors privilégiés
d'un rêve que Paris dispensa au monde, et
nous voulons protéger ces décors à l'égal de
nos monuments. »
André Malraux. Intervention à l’Assemblée
Nationale, 23 juillet 1962.
40 ans après la mort d’André Malraux et à
e
l’occasion du 50 anniversaire du tracé du
premier secteur sauvegardé parisien, le
musée Carnavalet propose une exposition
dédiée au Marais, quartier qui occupe une
place singulière dans le cœur des Parisiens.

À la suite de la loi du 4 août 1962, instaurant les secteurs sauvegardés dont le caractère
historique justifie « la conservation, la restauration et la mise en valeur », ce quartier
bénéficie depuis 1964 d’un dispositif de protection patrimoniale spécifique, à l’instar des
centres historiques des villes comme Lyon, Chartres, Clermont-Ferrand ou Aix-enProvence.
La sauvegarde du Marais a suscité d’exceptionnelles aventures humaines,
individuelles et collectives. À travers les récits où se croisent des décideurs, des
aménageurs, des élus, des architectes, des urbanistes et des résidents émergent de
multiples visions et controverses.
Quels ont été les défis, les succès et les revers de la valorisation ? Que révèlent-ils ?
Vers quel renouveau tendent-ils ? La rétrospective évoque les questions patrimoniales et
esthétiques que pose ce plan de sauvegarde mais aussi ses dimensions sociologiques,
économiques et humaines. Riche de plus 300 œuvres, elle met en perspective 50 ans
de l’évolution d’un quartier exceptionnel par l’abondance de ses hôtels particuliers
e
e
e
érigés aux XVI , XVII et XVIII siècles qui côtoient des architectures
contemporaines et au cœur duquel se trouve le musée Carnavalet.
Témoignages, photographies, films, cartes, maquettes, instruments, échantillons,
affiches, dessins in situ, prélèvements, éléments d’architecture rendent compte de ce
quartier vivant en évolution permanente. Le visiteur est invité à une véritable « immersion
sensorielle » à travers les couleurs et les matériaux du Marais.
À travers de nombreuses pièces inédites issues d’hôtels particuliers, de maisons de
rapport ou de lieux de culte sauvés de la destruction, et provenant aussi de fouilles
archéologiques récentes, un Marais secret s’offre au public qui redécouvre ainsi le savoirfaire, l’art de vivre et l’esthétique si spécifiques à ce quartier. Des prêts exceptionnels
issus de monuments fermés au public comme l’hôtel Amelot de Bisseuil, actuellement en
restauration, sont présentés pour la première fois.

THE EXHIBITION’S MAIN THEMES
Far from being frozen in time, the Marais protected district has changed considerably since
the passage of the Malraux Law.
This multidisciplinary exhibition reports on 50 years of protection through
innovative displays and pieces rarely shown to the public, emphasising a sensitive
and poetic relationship with the area.
An exhibition prefiguring the Carnavalet Museum’s
renovation
On the eve of a major renovation to be completed in 2019, the Carnavalet Museum is
rethinking the way it presents its collections and performs mediation in order to become the
essential benchmark in understanding Paris, its urban spaces, its residents, its
memories, and its history. The exhibition “The Marais Heritage: 50 years of protection
since the Malraux Law” is the occasion to try out these new keys to understanding an area.
This new approach offers a first look at one of the museum’s introductory rooms after its
renovation.

The Marais residents under the spotlight
The visitor relives the Marais’ past through its residents’ viewpoints and accounts:
an interactive digital display plunges visitors into two of the district’s most emblematic
th
rd
streets: the rue des Rosiers in the 4 arrondissement and the rue du Temple in the 3
arrondissement. A living portrait is sketched from accounts, photos, and press excerpts.
This original exhibit was created especially for the exhibition in a partnership between the
Carnavalet Museum - History of Paris and universities Paris I - Panthéon Sorbonne and
UPEC Val de Marne, Paris Urban Planning Institute. Students from Paris 8 Vincennes
Saint Denis in the CréaTIC programme designed the graphic interface and developed the
editorial line.

The account of sociologist Edgar Morin, who lived at 35 rue des Blancs Manteaux
in the early 1960s.
“The population is wonderfully cosmopolitan. There are Jews that have overflowed
from the rue des Rosiers to the east, Arabs who work at Les Halles and who live in the
same room; there is a Chinese colony that was deported during the First World War in
1914 from the French concession in Shanghai and whose descendants have dedicated
themselves to leather working.”
th
“The Marais...disappeared under a pile of shacks at the start of the 19 century, made
from various materials brought there by one of the densest populations in Paris, and
covered with the filth caused by accelerated ageing.”
A sensory approach to the Marais
The name “Marais”, as applied specifically to
this district, seems to have emerged in the
th
1560’s. In the 17 century it became the most
elegant and fashionable area in the capital.
Magnificent fragments collected primarily
from spaces closed to the public bring this
elegance to life and make up a “library of
materials” from the Marais with panelling,
doors, joists, stairway banisters, sculptures,
ceramics, buckles, coins, signs, documents,
photographs, films, maps, models, etc.
To prolong this sensitive and poetic
approach to the Marais, architect-colourist
Guillaume de Monfreid has performed a study
specifically designed for the exhibition with the
Paris Council on Architecture, Urbanism, and
the Environment (CAUE). He has made a
number of swatches of the Marais' colours.

th
The Malraux Law at the birth of protected sectors
The protection of the Marais was the first in an
international movement in the 1960s to protect and
promote historic districts.
A protected sector is an urban area subject to
specific regulations due to its “historical, aesthetic,
or other character that warrants conserving,
restoring, and promoting all or part of a group of
th
real estate, developed or not” (Law of 4 August
1962, known as the “Malraux Law”) There are 105
protected sectors in France today. André Malraux,
then Minister for Cultural Affairs, planned to create
400. With its extraordinarily rich heritage, the
Marais was the first sector in Paris to be
declared a “protected sector” in December
1964. Its 126 hectares, about 1.2% of Paris’s
rd
th
area,
partially cover
the
3
and
4
th
arrondissements. In 2015 we celebrate the 50
anniversary of its creation.
Paris’s other protected sector is the eastern part of
th
the 7 arrondissement, as defined by a protection
and development plan (PSMV) established in 1972
and approved in 1991.
2013 Marais protection and development plan
Contemporary design in the heart of the Marais
Protection of heritage does not
exclude
contemporary
architectural projects. On the
contrary, even in a protected
sector, the city is built over
successive strata of time.
Three architectural projects from
the 2010s are presented at the
start of the exhibition and bear
witness to this harmonious
dialogue between heritage and
design:
-
Social housing built by
Chartier-Corbasson architects
at the corner of the rue de
Turenne and rue SaintAntoine (4th arrondissement)
with its audacious, changing
and mobile façade aligned

Stakeholders in preserving the Marais
th
Since its creation on 16 April 1965, the Marais protected sector has been the object of an
active development policy that has brought together politicians, architects, urban planners,
historians, archaeologists as well as donors and supporters of the Marais. The exhibition
gives a voice to all of these passionate stakeholders.
Ministers: André Malraux and Pierre Sudreau
Starting in 1959, Minister for Cultural Affairs André Malraux and his
colleague Pierre Sudreau, Minister for Construction, shared a
desire to protect historical and aesthetic heritage. Together, they
restored the façades of Paris’s monuments, which Malraux
described in these terms:
“Paris in black was a sad city. It was the dirt that made it
sad. The black hid the shadows, and thus the decor.”
André Malreaux considered preservation as a productive resource
for the imagination:
“In our civilisation, the future is not opposed to the past, it
resuscitates it.”

st
Succeeding in personifying the law voted on 4 August 1962 was a
stroke of genius and since then, the law has been known as the
“Malraux Law”.
Exceptionally, the law was first presented in the Senate in
December 1961 by Pierre Sudreau. The law has two goals, he
said, to “protect and to try to restore old or historic areas that are
part of our country’s soul”.
rd
On 23 July 1962, André Malraux gave a speech in the National Assembly of which this
excerpt is particularly famous:
“Nations are no longer only sensitive to masterpieces; this has happened by the sole
presence of their past. Here is the decisive part: they have discovered that the spirit of
this past is not made of masterpieces alone, for in architecture, a lone masterpiece may
become a dead masterpiece”.
Hobbyists
In 1970, the FNAC held a competition for amateur photographers to immortalise
Paris. Generously loaned by the City of Paris’s Library of History (BHVP), these images
show everyday life in the Marais at the time: hobbyists go into courtyards and workshops,
into construction sites and capture the transformations in the district.
Enthusiasts
Driven by their love of the neighbourhood, enthusiasts volunteer to help preserve it
and meticulously survey its streets to capture specificities and treasures to draft a
complete map. From 1962 to 1968, Michel Raude organised the Marais Festival. Inspired
by the Avignon Festival, he organised live shows in the district’s private mansions to
promote this heritage.
Professional photographer Roland Liot also witnessed this period; he explored the Marais
to capture the changes affecting it on film.

th
th
th
Defenders
The Marais was also the scene of intense protest against the expulsion of its residents and
the renovation of its historical heritage by the private sector. Founded in 1975, the intercommittee of the Marais keeps the public and media informed and actively contributes to
changing architectural and urban planning philosophy.
An invitation for a tour
At the end of the exhibition, two tours through the museum and the district are proposed.
Within the Carnavalet Museum - History of Paris visitors
discover many pieces and interior decorations from the Marais
that could not be placed within the temporary exhibition rooms:
the model of the decorative set from the Hôtel Colbert de Villacerf,
th
dating from the 17 century, evokes the many examples of
th
th
decoration from the 17 and 18 centuries reassembled in the
Carnavalet Museum.

At the end, the exhibition invites you to make your own tour of the
district, following in the steps of artists Kojiro Agaki, Françoise
Schein, Michel Longuet or the community of Urban Sketchers
Paris, a network of artists who organised two “sketching
marathons” (or SketchCrawls) especially for the exhibition in
February and March 2015.

Spotlight on block 16, at the intersection of urban, architectural, political, and social history
This multidisciplinary exhibition places architectural questions in their political, historical and
social context. The special case of block 16 is representative of these problems within the area. In
1921, seventeen blocks throughout Paris were declared “insalubrious” due to a higher-thanth
average death rate from tuberculosis. These blocks were to be torn down and rebuilt. The 16
th
block, with an area of 14 hectares, was located in the south of the 4 arrondissement. It was
bordered to the west by the Saint-Gervais church, to the east by the rue de Foucry, to the north
by the rue François Miron and to the south by the quai de l’Hôtel de Ville.
Several development plans for this block came and went during the 1930’s. The modernist urban
planning movement wanted to tear down the neighbourhood and build an administrative and
cultural centre with a large green space. The Vichy regime’s administration (1940-1944) preferred
a process of preservation and conservation. It favoured cleaning interior courtyards, furnishing
green spaces, demolishing run-down buildings and rebuilding structures in the historical style.
The layout of the roads was changed. These actions were a precursor to the methods used under
the Malraux Law.
Eviction of residents, mostly tenants, from the 350 buildings declared insalubrious in block 16
occurred during the persecution of Jews, particularly between 1941 and 1944. 20% of households
that were evicted were Jewish.

DIGITAL DISPLAYS
ABOUT THE INTERACTIVE DISPLAY: STREET BIOGRAPHIES
Originating from research work carried out
by history students at Paris I PanthéonSorbonne and the Institut d’Urbanisme de
Paris (UPEC Val de Marne), the interactive
display was designed by students in
digital design and publishing at Paris VIII
Saint-Denis university.
This research studied the social impact of the
Malraux Law among different generations of
residents and shopkeepers, highlighting the
split that can exist between people who
defend
municipal
and
government
preservation projects for the sector on the one
hand and, on the other hand, people who
have lived there longer, for many generations,
and who feel that their neighbourhood has been taken from them. These were supplied
as files containing archive images, recent photos, interview transcripts and audio
recordings.
Presented on two touchscreens in the section “The 2013 Protection and Development
Plan (PSMV) – Building the Marais”, the display presents part of this documentation
as a fun and attractive paper play, where two of the Marais’s most iconic streets
are shown: the rue des Rosiers and the rue du Temple.
Visitors stand facing the screen inclined at a 30° angle and equipped with two headsets.
They explore the streets looking for points of interest indicated by coloured elements in
the decor. Then they listen to recorded accounts from residents and view related archive
documents. When they go back to the overall view of the street, the changes referred to
in the accounts are graphically revealed in a short animation (changes in shops,
cobblestones replaced by concrete, etc.). Visitors are immersed in events directly or
indirectly linked to the Malraux law that have marked the street and the people.
ABOUT THE 3D RECONSTRUCTION VIDEOS
Also in the first exhibition room, 3D model reconstructions of Paris are presented,
produced by Iliade Production with funding from the Carnavalet Museum’s documentation
budget. A montage of 3D excerpts is screened continuously. These excerpts show the
Marais’ evolution, from the first architectural and urban developments until block 16.

thousand people live there, two hundred thousand work there every day and tens of
thousands of tourists visit each year. This publication explores the changes in a
unique heritage site. It invites you to explore the streets, admire the buildings,
appreciate the colours and meet the witnesses and actors, all in love with the Marais,
the historic heart of Paris.

The protection and development plans determine construction possibilities in the protected sectors of the Marais and the 7 arrondissement. This
very detailed analysis report, produced by Blanc-Duché, in charge of carrying out studies as part of the Marais PSMV review, makes an
assessment of the district today with results from the urban, architectural and social changes that have made it what it is. Rich and informative, it
also presents realities and myths that stem from the district’s past and present.
Paris Musées is a publisher of art books that publishes around thirty works each year – exhibition

SPONSORS
“The Marais heritage: 50 years of protection since the Malraux Law”
Carnavalet Museum, Paris
The Galeries Lafayette group, contributor to cultural industries for over 120
years, is proud to support the exhibition “The Marais heritage: 50 years of
protection since the Malraux Law” at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris. In our
work, our commitment to sponsorship and the passion and convictions of the
shareholding family for over five generations, promoting our heritage and
supporting creation are at the heart of the Galeries Lafayette group’s values.
As an economic, historic and cultural reference through BHV MARAIS, the

creation of the Lafayette Anticipation Foundation, rue du Plâtre.
Founded in 1856 by Xavier Ruel and acquired by the Galeries Lafayette group
in 1991, the Bazar de l’Hôtel de Ville actively participates in promoting French,
Parisian, and the Marais art of living. The famous dome constructed in 1913
by architect Auguste Roy decisively established this store’s place in the
district. While remaining true to its heritage, the building has never stopped
reinventing itself, as witnessed by its recent interior redesign. Continuing its
dialogue with Paris City Hall, anchored more than ever in the present while
staying true to its history, it was renamed BHV MARAIS, as if to better
highlight its enduring link with this neighbourhood.
Created in 2013, the Galeries Lafayette Foundation will open its doors in 2017
th
at 9 rue du Plâtre, in an industrial building constructed at the end of the 19
century by architect Samuel Menjot de Dammartin for the BHV. Presented in
the exhibition of the Carnavalet Museum, the model of this renovation, OMA’s
first project in Paris and led by internationally renowned architect Rem
Koolhaas, will attest to the consideration given to the relationship between “the
old and the new, between the existing and the non-existent”. With over five
2
storeys and a total surface of 2500 m , the Foundation will be a space for
creation, production and display dedicated to design in its most current forms:
from fine arts to fashion, from design to performing arts. A living space of
speech and ideas for all audiences, the Galeries Lafayette Foundation is
already active through its preliminary programme, Lafayette Anticipation.
Rooted in these two ambitions, the Galeries Lafayette group is proud to
partner with the Carnavalet Museum in promoting this district’s history and
future to a wide audience.

RELEASE / NOVEMBER 2015
ÉLOGIE, EXHIBITION PARTNER
“THE MARAIS AND IST
LEGACY”
Élogie, semi-public company of the City of Paris, builds, acquires, renovates and manages social
housing.
Founded in 1931, the real estate company has progressively acquired a portfolio of over 16,000
accommodation units (family apartments and rooms) located primarily in Paris, including 600 in the
historic heart of the Marais.
As the 3rd largest social housing provider in Paris, Élogie contributes to balancing social housing
throughout the city by developing its rental portfolio in the centre and the west of the capital. It is a
major player in the City’s social housing policies and participates fully in implementing the city’s
climate plan.
On the occasion of “The Marais Heritage: 50 years of protection since the Malraux Law”, whose
themes coincide with Élogie’s objectives, experience and values, the company wanted to partner with
the Carnavalet Museum.
With the support of the City of Paris, over the last few years Élogie has renovated several of the
Marais’s most iconic buildings (the latest is being completed on the rue Michel le Comte) to convert
them into quality social housing and improve the sociological diversity of the district while preserving
its historical integrity.
Élogie’s mission is to breathe new life into these historical buildings and offer residents a high level of
comfort.
More generally, Élogie dedicates a significant part of its investments to maintaining and developing
its real estate holdings. Élogie is committed to being a responsible company, and mobilises its 300
staff, including 168 building managers and employees, in applying sustainable development
principles with a high quality service.
As part of its support for the museum’s project, Élogie organises visits for its tenants in the 3rd and
4th arrondissements to help them better understand their environment and the history of the
buildings in which they live. This objective aligns with the Carnavalet Museum’s desire to touch new
and wider audiences and welcome visitors from socio-professional categories that are less likely to
visit Paris’s museums.

This restructuration project (whose second phase is currently being completed) includes
both the renovation of a 17th-century private mansion and construction of a new
building to replace a dilapidated property at the back of the lot. The project meets the
highest environmental standards.
The development includes an apartment reserved for senior housing. In addition to the
apartment being 100% handicap accessible, the tenant will benefit from a number of
services designed to make daily life easier: cleaning, nursing, basic upkeep, etc.

Élogie has renovated a street-side building, part of a group of buildings
that include the 17th-century Voysin-de-Launay mansion and two town
houses.
Preservation and renovation work was carried out on both the structure
of the building as well as noticeable interior furnishings (wood floors,
chimneys, wall decorations, etc.). One of this programme’s apartments
is rented out to a flatshare of 4 students having requested social
housing. Each student has a furnished room in a 4-bedroom, 96 m2
apartment. The four separate, one-year rental contracts may be
renewed once during their studies. Average rent is €249.

Élogie participated in renovating a dilapidated 17th-century town house (of which
several architectural elements are on the historical monuments register) and a small
annex building. The renovation works preserved and developed many important
elements of the property and brought it into conformity with energy efficiency standards,
in accordance with the City of Paris’s Climate Plan. This renovation proves that an older
building can stand as a model of sustainable development for lower-income residents in
the heart of Paris.

gem of Renaissance architecture, was completely restored to its original splendour.
These works are part of a complete renovation of the Carnavalet Museum, carried out by Paris
Musées and to be completed in 2020. The works will make the site completely accessible to
disabled visitors, restore all of the façades and roofs, bring technical installations to code, offer
new services (shop, restaurant) and rethink visitors’ paths through the museum with innovative
and attractive displays.
