Description
"THE BERNADOTTE BARRACKS: TWO CENTURIES OF HISTORY? Temporary exhibition on the gates of the Bernadotte barracks
Accompanied by our guide Anaïs BUCCIARELLI, explore the history of Place Verdun to gain a better understanding of the layout and architecture of the Bernadotte barracks, now the archive center of Pau?s Service historique de la Défense.
Through chronological landmarks, historical anecdotes, official documents and archival images, witness the birth of a barracks and follow the progress of the work right up to the difficult completion of the project. Enter into the intimacy of the successive occupants of this building, which changed name and destination several times, until it became the archive center you know today, housed in one of France?s longest barracks.
