The «Guide des Maisons des Illustres en Grand Est» has just been reissued in 3,650 copies.
This reissue corresponds to a demand from houses that exhausted the stock of the first edition in April 2022. The guide presents all twenty-two sites where the memory of the women and men who made and contributed to the political, social, scientific, artistic and religious history of France is preserved and transmitted
The label Maison des Illustres, created in 2011, values little known and varied places: workshop, inn, modest building, castle, birthplace, presbytery, museum or family residence. They each constitute an unusual and connected heritage, an original heritage network.
The illustrious women who are attached to these houses, or who have inhabited them, make us discover great figures of history, some of which, remained in the shadows, deserve all the light. Thus, in the Great East, Jeanne d'Arc, Charles de Gaulle, Poincaré, Robert Schuman rub shoulders with Julie-Victoire Daubié, Jean-Frédéric Oberlin, Edouard Salin, Hugues Krafft or Charles Friry, perhaps less known, but who had a leading role in education, social history, archaeology, heritage valuation and the history of collections.
