In partnership with the “BD en Périgord” festival
Pierre Fanlac Media Library, co-organized with the City of Art and History department

Paul Abadie, the famous architect who worked on the fundamental restoration of Saint-Front Cathedral in Périgueux from 1854 to 1883, deserved a biography. Olivier Thomas presents it in a comic book that is as well-researched as it is lively. The exhibition, combining historical presentation with original plates and drawings, looks back on the career of this renowned architect, who won the architectural competition for the Sacré-Cœur in Paris in 1874. Come and discover the behind-the-scenes story of this biographical comic book and its author's creative process.
