Pierre Vermeren: "Why Roselyne Bachelot is part of the tradition of revolutionary vandalism"

FIGAROVOX / TRIBUNE - The former Minister of Culture believes that it will be necessary to say "no" to certain restoration projects for buildings "without heritage interest". The academic sees in these declarations the extension of a movement initiated during the Revolution.


Normalien, agrégé and doctor of history, Pierre Vermeren has recently published three critically acclaimed books:

On a broke la République.

150 years of history of the nation

” (Tallandier, 2020),

The Impasse of metropolisation

(Gallimard, coll. “Le Débat”, 2021) and

La France qui déclasse.

From deindustrialization to the health crisis

(Texto, 2022).

The former Minister of Culture without culture (since "French culture does not exist") is part of one of the most fruitful French traditions since the Revolution, vandalism, in the words of Abbé Grégoire.

There has not been, for two centuries, a historical sequence during which a part of the French, sometimes helped by the revolution or the war, but also because of the wheeler-dealers as we have seen for forty years, have not engaged in ransacking of a tangible or intangible part of French heritage.

It is even one of the manifest traits of a country with a revolutionary culture.
