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 Grand Trianon was designed in 1687 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart to allow King Louis XIV to escape the excessive luxury of the Court and to safeguard his love affairs there. The site indeed exudes a sense of intimacy and refinement. The palace is inspired by Italian architecture and invites you to poetry and leisurely strolls. It was built on the site of Louis XIV’s former Porcelain Trianon. A little fun fact: in the past, the Grand Trianon was surrounded by thousands of potted flowers, which were changed every day. Today, this tradition is still maintained with each season. The spectacle was truly unique: flowerbeds bursting with blooms of every color and a wide variety of fragrances filled the air. Later on, the Grand Trianon was frequented by Napoleon Bonaparte and by Presidents of the Republic. From 1962 to 1966, General de Gaulle entrusted André Malraux, then Minister of Cultural Affairs, with the restoration of the Grand Trianon.

The Petit Trianon was built between 1763 and 1768 by the architect Gabriel, requested by Madame de Pompadour, mistress then friend of king Louis XV. Madame de Pompadour, who wished to “relieve the king’s boredom” — though no longer his mistress, she remained his friend — was the instigator of this small château, built by architect Gabriel between 1763 and 1768. It was erected near the Botanical Garden and the new menagerie, as Louis XV had a keen interest in the sciences. To please the marquise, always at the forefront of fashion, the king’s architect broke away from the rococo aesthetic and adopted a cubic form with very pure lines, in keeping with the brand-new “Greek style” then in vogue. Its simplicity is only apparent, for each façade is different, designed in relation to the space it overlooks: the courtyard, the French Garden with its elegant pavilion, the Botanical Garden, and the Florist’s Garden. Inside, one finds the same modernity of style. Simpler than the rest of the estate, the decoration of the Petit Trianon lies not in lavish materials — gilding is almost absent — but in the refinement of its sculptures, in a château entirely dedicated to nature. Madame de Pompadour died in 1764 and never saw the château completed. Today, it is above all the memory of Marie-Antoinette that it evokes. In 1774, Louis XVI gave the Trianon estate to his wife, who was able to live here a life apart — too much so for some — from the Court.

In Seine-Maritime, in the commune of Auzouville-sur-Ry near Martainville-Epreville, the well of an old manor house has been restored during a voluntary work camp supported by the municipality. This well has a particularity: it is a closed well, unique heritage to be mentioned.

It is between the Seine valley and the Pays de Bray, between the Pays de Caux and the Vexin, that the charming commune of Ry is located, in the Seine-Maritime region, about twenty kilometers from Rouen. The porch of its church Saint-Sulpice, obtained the label "Rural Heritage" by the Department in 2021 in order to develop this remarkable architectural element. Accompanied by my friend Isabelle, we are leaving today to join the country of Emma Bovary. Both lovers of literature, the village of Ry seems familiar to us, as it inspired Gustave Flaubert. We are also very curious to know more about this 16th century porch that we were told about at the tourist office. Well indicated by directional signs, we go up to the Saint-Sulpice church. There are several possibilities for parking: either along the low wall of the church, or by parking on the parking lot provided for this purpose by taking an ascending road along the church. We choose the second option. Equipped with our cameras, we are ready to start our visit. At the gate of the cemetery, we find ourselves in front of the tomb of Delphine and Eugène Delamare. This couple, whose wife was the subject of a scandal in the 19th century press, was probably the model for the plot of Gustave Flaubert's novel: Mme Bovary. Then we arrive by the side of the church porch and are amazed by the 16th century carved wooden lace, classified as a historical monument and inspired by the Italian Renaissance. Standing on a stone base, the porch contrasts with the simplicity of the church. We admire the finesse and richness of its decoration. Isabelle is shooting with her camera. By zooming in, she can observe the details of the biblical figures, the animal or warlike representations. On my side, I am intrigued by the figures of the monsters at the end of each beam which support the vault in the shape of an overturned boat, characteristic of the Norman architecture. Isabelle and I are having a contest to see who can find the biblical details in this porch, a true work of art. Beyond its primary function, the originality of this porch is that it is an open-air book on the social, military and religious history of the 16th century. We are happy to be in this precious place and without any doubt unique in Seine-Maritime! We keep on taking pictures and Isabelle tells me she will put some on Instagram. "Excellent idea", I tell her, "a site like this must be more known"! Before leaving, we enter the church to appreciate the freshness of this simple place dedicated to prayer. We rest there for a few minutes. Observing in silence from our seated position the walls, stained glass windows and furniture. Then we decide to go back to our car. As we don't want to leave the charming village of Ry, we decide to continue our discovery by the pedestrian circuit "In the footsteps of Emma Bovary" whose pretty informative panels mark out the heart of the village. Here we go again for a new cultural discovery!
