Guide of remarkable gardens in Île-de-France (2023) - DRAC book published by Editions du Patrimoine
In 2004, the Ministry of Culture created the label «Jardin remarquable». It distinguishes gardens and parks, public or private, of cultural, aesthetic, historical or botanical interest. Six criteria govern the award of the label: the composition, the integration in the site and the quality of the surroundings, the presence of remarkable elements, botanical interest, historical interest in the old gardens and the quality of maintenance. Today, 450 parks and gardens are labeled in France.
This guide is the first publication that brings together those who have been labeled in Île-de-France by the DRAC. It invites to beautiful walks through the 40 gardens of the region, including the most famous as the national domain of Versailles (Yvelines) or the garden of the Palais-Royal in Paris, but also more unknown as the Vallée-aux-Loups in Châtenay-Malabry (Hauts-de-Seine), the Musée jardin Bourdelle d'Égreville (Seine-et-Marne), the Roseraie du Val-de-Marne in L'Haye-les-Roses, the fishing walls of Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), the Jardin de l'Île-Verte in Châtenay-Malabry (Hauts-de-Seine), the Jardin de l'Outil in Wy-dit-Joli-Village (Val-d'Oise) or the domain of Segrez (Essonne).

Atlas of cultural places of Greater Paris (2023) - in partnership with the APUR
The atlas of cultural places in Greater Paris portrays an exceptional cultural offer through the census of more than 7,500 cultural places of diffusion, practices or cultural and artistic production. This new edition is a continuation of a first atlas published in 2015 whose data have been updated and enriched and thus shows the multiplicity of places, museums and exhibition spaces (282), libraries and media libraries (290), cinemas (207), places of performing arts (809), heritage and tourist sites, book shops (1130), art shops (1979) but also emerging places, witnesses of today’s cultural practices and productions in the image of hybrid places (139 third places, art factories, Micro-folies), places of artistic learning and training (933), production and artistic practices (1,543) and finally art in public spaces and festivals (491).
In this 2023 vintage atlas, cultural places are represented at three distinct scales: that of the Greater Paris Metropolis, that of the 12 metropolitan territories and that of the 68 districts of the Grand Paris Express station.
The Atlas is available in a version catalogue and a datavisualisation which allows to compose, to discover and to filter, by type of places and geographical situation, the 7593 references regarding the communes and territories. The whole is also made available in open data to serve as a common basis for further studies.
The high schools of Île-de-France. When contemporary architecture meets pedagogy (2021) - in partnership with the Conseil régional d'Île-de-France, published by Lieux-Dits
Build to learn: a whole program declined over time since the first imperial high schools established in Paris. Widely diversified in the 20th century, exported beyond the limits of the capital, in small and large crown, the architecture of the high schools has constantly reinvented itself to adapt to the pedagogical evolutions. A selection of about forty of them has been proposed to the label Remarkable contemporary architecture, awarded by the Ministry of Culture to distinguish their historical, architectural and artistic values.
The architecture of the high schools will gradually move away from the old models of the cloister or the barracks to draw its inspiration ever more freely from the registers of the factory, the town hall, the office building, the university campus, the ocean liner and the airport… In tension between the constraints of a public equipment and the well being of the pupils, the architects tried to renew the form and often showed daring and imagination. It is this story, unknown or forgotten in the daily life of school life, that this book proposes to rediscover by walking the courses and corridors of the remarkable high schools of the Île-de-France.
Cultural Atlas of the Great Crown (2018) - in partnership with the IAU
This atlas is a tool for the use of elected officials and actors of culture and tourism. It offers a global and transversal vision of the cultural offer (heritage, museums and exhibition places, tourist sites, places of public reading, amateur practice, shows and cinemas). It is not only a question of establishing an inventory, proposing issues, but also of revealing potential, whether in terms of development or diversification of the offer. The atlas also targets a wider audience, whether institutional, associative or citizen. This publication is the result of a partnership between DRAC Île-de-France and the Service Patrimoine et Inventaire de la Région Île-de-France (SPI), backed by an implementation provided by the Institut d'aménagement et d'urbanisme Île-de-France.
