A special place, assembling a collection of objects associated with the famous French composer in the house where he was born: Claude Debussy's birthplace is located in the historic quarter of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It was in this 17-century house in the town that Claude Debussy was born, on 22 August 1862, and spent his early childhood. His father ran a china shop on the ground floor. After the composer's death in 1918, it soon became the main gathering place of his many admirers. Once inside, you will discover a wonderful little inner courtyard, where a splendid wooden staircase will lead you up to the museum. The museum, officially recognised as a 'Maison des illustres' ('Houses of the Famous'), displays objects and photographs that help provide a better understanding of the composer's creative process. In fact, Debussy liked to surround himself with objects from different places and artistic movements, which influenced his music. For example, a Japanese lacquered panel, which came from his Parisian mansion, depicting two fish swimming under a willow, musically metamorphosed into 'Poissons d'or', a piano piece (1907). A small museum but a grand tribute to one of France's greatest composers!

The Fournaise museum proposes a meeting with the artist during a show, punctuated by digital animations and videos, in the middle of the atmosphere recreated by the sets of theaters. of the museum. One hundred years after his death, Renoir is back in Chatou hologram! Familiarly, he tells us about his vision of painting, the harsh criticisms of his contemporaries, his workshop secrets, his loves, his relatives ... and the fertile inspiration drawn from the banks of the Seine. At the time of the first scandals, Durand-Ruel and some amateurs give him a decisive support by buying him paintings. Alphonse Fournaise is one of the first! He ordered his portrait and that of his daughter for 200 francs. For more than ten years, Renoir made frequent stays at home and around Chatou where he painted about thirty paintings. Aged nearly forty, he began the ambitious Breakfast of the Boaters. This painting, painted on the balcony of the Maison Fournaise, is the result of long research. The painter feels then that he has arrived "at the end of impressionism". This great admirer of the masters of the Italian Renaissance dreams of making this work a bridge between Veronese, Raphael and the modern life of his century. Retained at the Fournaise by his painting in 1880, he wrote to Monsieur de Bellio: "You will not regret your trip. It is the most beautiful place around Paris. " To complete your experience in the footsteps of Renoir, go back in time on the Fournaise hamlet thanks to the virtual reality helmets, wander among the characters of the Breakfast of the boaters with the tactile tablets or create your own work according to the master in painting Virtual.

It is in the heart of the Pays de Bray, that the Department of Seine-Maritime has granted in 2021 its label "Rural Heritage" to the war memorial of the charming village of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre. Let's go for its discovery! I set off early on the roads of Bray to enjoy the spectacle of undulating landscapes, green fields where cows and other animals graze, real postcards of Normandy. As a history and geography teacher, the study of international conflicts and the duty of remembrance is a regular part of the lessons I give to my students. Also, the discovery of this war memorial which recently obtained a distinction makes me curious. When I arrived in Cuy-Saint-Fiacre, I perceived the town as a place where life is good. Indeed, everything is superbly arranged; and I only have to follow the directional signs to find the church with the war memorial. I pass in front of the town hall and park on the parking lot of the community hall. I enjoy the scent of roses along the low wall of the church which leads me to the gate of the cemetery. I push one of the doors and in front of me, placed on its pedestal, I discover the monument in homage to the soldiers of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre who died for France. This is the one that has just been labeled "Rural heritage of the Seine-Maritime". After the armistice of 1914, all the villages of France wished to pay tribute to their children who died during the First World War by erecting monuments to the dead. I walk slowly and remember as a child with my classmates in the cemetery of my town. On November 11, the day of the Armistice, we would go one by one to lay our bouquet of flowers at the foot of the war memorial. There, we listened with attention to the speech of the Mayor! What memories! I suppose and hope that the children of the commune of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre continue to come to pay homage to these men who gave their lives for the nation. On the pedestal, I see the four shells linked by chains, completed by two steps which form the base of the monument. Three golden sprays placed at the foot of the monument complete the decor. I note the presence of many symbols related to the theme of war: a flag, a war cross, palms, military ornaments. The Latin cross on which are engraved the names of the children of the village sacrificed for France is topped by an Adrian helmet, symbol of the modern war. At the top, as if ready to fly away, I can see the rooster with its wings open. All this has an impressive side! The singularity of this monument is in its sobriety, its purity of lines, its smooth and round forms and its immaculate hard stone from Euville in the Meuse. The realization of this work is extraordinary. Its sculptor is none other than François Pompon, an animal artist who owns a house near the church and the cemetery of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre. The career of this sculptor is very prestigious: originally from Burgundy, he worked in many sculptors' studios, notably that of Rodin, and his works can be found in the most beautiful museums in the world, both in Europe and in the United States. I understand better the distinction obtained by this monument, which differs from many other commemorative sculptures that I have seen. I take a few pictures to illustrate my next classes and I take a few minutes to read the information given by the interpretation totem next to it. This discovery made me curious to discover the other sites labeled "Rural Heritage" by the Department. And I hope to discover some other nuggets!

Mostly from the 11th and 12th centuries. Inside, capitals and columns carved with human masks and plant motifs.

In the town center lies a real gem of Gournay's heritage, the Rue du Rempart with its fortifications and tower. A fortified town from the Middle Ages, Gournay retains few traces of its past. Only this tower, the conical base of another and the ditches remain of this defensive structure. Both a stronghold and a seigneurial residence, these fortifications lost their usefulness after the Wars of Religion. The ditches were sold to private individuals, and the gates were successively destroyed.
