Travel Guide Osne-Le-Val

It was the real departure of the art cast in France, which was going to build in the whole region. The church contains a cast iron chair, and there are still many references to it. Osne-le-Val cannot be approached without stopping a moment on the history of the factory that made living and knowing this place for centuries. The Val d'Osne was built in 1836 by Jean-Pierre Victor André on the site of a former priory. The plant will gradually expand: a blast furnace, then another built by Competing which will also be the origin of the workers'cities (1860) and an machining workshop. Foundry and mill become the life of this place, especially after the 1900 World Exposition: All the subway entries by Guimard were poured into it, and then the two winged horses that adorn the Alexander II bridge. The famous factory will only table the balance sheet in 1986. It is now known throughout the world for having attracted the favours of the greatest artists such as Jacquemart (whose Lion orne the entrance of Val d'Osne), Rouillard (if you descend the river, push to Curel to admire Royal, a cast iron), Bartholdi and many others. The works of the factory are present in the most beautiful cities of the world, so it is important to take a tour at Val D'Osne to capture the primordial importance of this art be regional or global.
