Topic: Louveciennes


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Louveciennes from "The Chateaux of France"
After 1750, so pervasive was the mood of reform, in reaction against the decadence of life under Louis XV, that one of the major symbols of the new spirit is the little freestanding pavilion at Louveciennes.
The irony is that the structure was commissioned by none other than the Comtesse du Barry, Louis XV's last mistress and the archsymbol of all that contemporaries considered effete and self indulgent in France's ancien regime.
Once completed, the Louveciennes pavilion caused a furor, for clearly the new age had arrived.

 Louveciennes
The town of Louveciennes holds precedence over the restoration of its Chateau of Madame DuBarry, the palatial love nest of the Aristocratic courtesan bought privately by a Japanese investor who then proceeded to strip the interior of its elegant parquet floors, gilded cornices and mouldings, chandeliers, mirrors, mantle pieces and marquetry for auction and exportation.
This exploitation of a classified national treasure shocked Louveciennes to seek legal action to seize public possession of the Chateau with intervention at the level of the Ministry of Culture, and undoubtedly deepened feelings of zenophobic caution towards foreign investment in local property.
Ironically there was to be a Poetry Festival this Spring in Louveciennes, the mention of Nin's name on the lips of local admirers and quiet keepers of the flame, of which there are many fond Louveciennois eager to see this little piece of history remembered.
