Written in 1964 and adopted one year later by the International Council of Monuments and Sites, which will promote its dissemination, the Venice Charter is still today widely used in the heritage world. This paper, primarily based on the consultation of the journal Les Monuments historiques de la France, occasionally complemented with archives, aims to identify the nature and specificity of the French contribution to the writing and the interpretation of the document, during the period between the First Congress of Architects and Technicians of Historical Monuments, in Paris, in 1957, and the conference organized by the French committee of ICOMOS in 1976 to evaluate how the charter had been put into practice in French restorations. After identifying the main French actors implied in the international doctrinal discussions during the period in question, the paper examines, through a selection of projects published in the journal Les Monuments historiques de la France, two of the essential principles of the charter, breaking with the legacy of Viollet-le-Duc: what Michel Parent calls the “transparency of forms”, and the legibility of interventions, “the contemporary stamp”, promoted by the charter. It concludes with the French contribution to the revision of the document, in 1977: the initiative failed, but at least led to an assessment that was, in the case of France, a new starting point for the debates on restoration. |
