La Voix du Nord in the writings of Jean-Marie Guichard publish this article in its edition of Wednesday, March 17, 2010.
Association Eugenie, who has just held its first general meeting (our edition of 11 March) is carried by the involvement of the founder, Jacques Desbarbieux, and the painstaking work done by the president and secretary. Too modest to put themselves forward, Desbarbieux Florence (wife of Jacques), Chair, and Anne-Marie Delpierre, the secretary will return the compliment. But the fact is that, "insists Jacques Desbarbieux, they are the ones who run Eugenie. Another blink of an eye "feminist" that this name chosen to christen the association in memory of the mother of Gabriel Pagnerre, architect monsois rediscovered by the association.
"But we want to expand our interests, insists Florence. The philosophy of our association is based on openness and curiosity. After the book on Grand Boulevard, one of the greatest successes of the publisher Sutton, we are preparing the release of a book this year about Mons and especially the neighborhoods of New Sarts and Mons, with comparative photographs: the early twentieth century, in the seventies and now ... "
Florence cites yet other projects (Discovery Park Barbieux Roubaix, Heritage Days, an exhibition on Venice Bénédicte Logié Windows speaking) under the admiring gaze of Anne-Marie: "I'm Monsoise that for fifteen years but I love this city. With the association, we rediscover the town residents. Without elitism, involving people, all who have memories to tell, stories, documents ... "

Creating links
One way to do that also motivates the commitment of Florence Desbarbieux:" I studied history but I had a little left this area fall thereafter to school support, take care of Sino-French friendship, in short, move on. This is my meeting with Jacques, who gave me a taste of history and also architecture, art ... "As evidenced by the gift she gave to her husband at Christmas, a superb book on Le Corbusier that the three accomplices never tire of sifting.
"All our projects have in common to create the link, insists Florence. That's why we want to roll the windows that speak to Mons. This is the best way to talk about art, beautiful things to everyone, even people who are not interested a priori.
the example of the mayor of Halluin, Jean-Luc Deroo, who did not know the architect and the association has contacted a few months ago to save a school threatened with demolition Pagnerre . With Jacques Desbarbieux, Secretary of Eugenie got an appointment, argued the cause and the worst has been avoided. The gantry Monsois signed the famous will be kept and a street named after him Halluin. The mayor has become a friend of the association and even attended the meeting alongside Rudy Elegeest!
Association "Eugene", 5, Avenue du Trocadero, 59370 Mons-en-Barœul.
