This book traces the fascinating history of the Chapelle des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
It was Queen Margot who had it built, and work began in 1608.
Later, with Alexandre Lenoir, it became the Museum of French Monuments (1795-1816).
Finally, it housed copies of sculpted or painted works within the School. This historical presentation is followed by a catalogue of the works and copies of works currently exhibited in the chapel. It is designed as a tour from left to right, with detailed photographs of the vestibule, the bays, the back wall and the Praise Chapel.

This collection delivers eighteen anthropological investigations carried out by the students of the Beaux-Arts de Paris in immersion in various environments: Afrodance dancers, markets, groups of bikers...
This approach was suggested to them by their anthropology professor Monique Jeudy-Ballini.
This coloring book is made from 24 photographs by Patrick Faigenbaum, professor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
