Index.
The Preservation of French Art is
one of the oldest societies for the preservation of French heritage.
It was founded in 1921 by Édouard Mortier, duc de Trévise to
prevent the destruction and the sale abroad of elements of our
historical and artistic heritage. It has been serving heritage
for 80 years. Since the bequest, in 1972, of Aliette de Rohan Chabot,
marquise de Maillé, it has been mainly devoted to helping municipalities
and private owners to preserve churches and chapels
in danger.
