Palais Royal: les colonnes de Buren et la fontaine Sphérades

En entrant dans Cour d'honneur du Palais Royal, vous vous trouvez immédiatement au milieu de multiples colonnes noires et blanches de toute taille, émergeant du sol comme des arbres qui poussent. Lorsqu’on se penche par-dessus les deux puits qui se trouvent dans la cour, on s’aperçoit que les colonnes se prolongent en sous-sol. Elles déterminent donc deux niveaux, d’où le titre de cette œuvre in situ : Les deux plateaux . En 1986, sous la présidence de François Mitterrand , le Ministère de la culture et de la communication, logé dans la galerie des proues du Palais Royal, commande une sculpture pour la cour intérieure à l’artiste Daniel Buren . Cette œuvre sculpturale s’inscrit dans le cadre des grands projets de François Mitterrand, qui, dans les années 1980, souhaite transformer la ville musée en ville moderne en y introduisant l’art et l’architecture contemporains. Buren est membre fondateur du groupe BMPT (Buren, Mosset, Parmentier et Toroni), qui, dans l’esprit des années 19

Le Palais-Royal, havre de la séduction à Paris

Le Palais-Royal était un haut lieu de culture (théâtres, opéra, libraires), fréquenté par le beau monde et les grands philosophes (Diderot, Rousseau, etc.). Des événement importants y eurent lieu, notamment l'émeute du 10 juillet 1889 qui précéda la prise de la Bastille. Quelques années plus tard, Napoléon y rencontra sa future épouse Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de La Pagerie, dite Joséphine de Beauharnais, alors amante de Paul Barràs. Mais les lieux inspiraient aussi d'autres affairements un peu moins avouables: au XVIIIe siècle et au tournant du XIXe siècle le Palais-Royal était la citadelle de la vie nocturne et de la débauche parisienne. Le guide complet du Palais-Royal publié par Blue Lion Guides est disponible gratuitement ici . Au XVIII et XIX siècle, en passant par la Révolution, le Palais Royal était le haut-lieu de la galanterie parisienne. D'abord sous l'Ancien Régime, les activités étaient hors la porté de la police car le Palais était un domaine royal

Le Louvre médiéval: la salle Saint-Louis (3)

Troisième et dernière étape de notre parcours du Louvre médiéval qui nous mène dans les structures de la forteresse érigée par Philippe Auguste et dans les réaménagements suivants jusqu'à l'époque de Louis IX. Le texte complet de Daniel Soulié, avec un audioguide, peut être téléchargé ici . On ne sait que peu de choses des aménagements intérieurs de l’ancien Louvre: aucune image n’en est conservée et les rares textes qui y font allusion sont souvent vagues et toujours peu fiables. Le premier Louvre de Philippe Auguste est une simple forteresse qui n’a jamais été dotée des espaces de représentation nécessaires au bon fonctionnement d’une résidence royale. Le roi disposait peut-être de quelques pièces habitables pouvant servir derefuge en cas de danger, mais rien ne permet d’en cerner les caractéristiques.
