Abstract
"The doctrine of restoration in France between the two World Wars : some thoughts on the revised tenets", by Stéphane Garnero. The 1920s and 1930s were a period of crucial importance for developments in the theory of restoration. An analysis of France's position, based on the procès-verbaux of the Commission des monuments historiques and the décisions made at that meeting, reveals a complicated and complexly-structured situation. On the one hand, restorations were carried out ensuring continuity with a nineteenth-century model, based on the theory of Viollet-le-Duc. On the other, new, internationally-discussed principles were emerging, in which, contrary to popular belief, France played a leading role. Reading between the lines of a doctrine that was never clearly explained, there appears to be an alternative to the théories of Giovannoni, characterized by a perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
