Origin and history

The wooden pavilion, also called the wooden chalet of the Collège Gérôme or 'Le petit lycée', is an emblematic building located in the heart of Vesoul. Built in 1937 under the impetus of André Liautey, a local politician, it was originally intended to accommodate the children's classes. This 300 m2 building, marked by a functional wooden architecture, reflects the educational needs of the time in a developing city.

Acquired by the municipality of Vesoul in 2021, the pavilion was reported to be in poor condition, requiring preservation work. Its heritage significance was recognized by an inscription on 18 December 2023, confirmed by a supplementary decree on 28 February 2024. Located at 5 rue Beauchamp, close to Collège Gérôme and the prison, it bears witness to the educational and urban history of Vesoul.

The building, owned by a territorial community, is now fully protected, including its cadastral parcel (section OB, No. 24). Its current status and future use (visit, rental, etc.) remain to be specified, but its classification now ensures its conservation. Available sources, such as the Merimée or Monumentum base, highlight its role in the local architectural heritage, between school heritage and the symbol of the inter-war period.
