Heritage Days 2025 at Bourron-Marlotte town hall
### Come and discover the works housed in this town hall, which preserves over 500 works by 19th-century small masters.
The Bourron-Marlotte town hall-museum was decorated by Charles Moreau-Vauthier, a Parisian artist who lived in the town between 1906 and 1922. A pupil of Gérôme, he gave up painting at the Salons fairly quickly, but remained an outstanding entertainer. Mobilizing his friends in Paris and the Fontainebleau region, he succeeded in collecting some 70 works to open the "Petit Musée" at the town hall in 1907. Donations have continued to add to this small museum, which today boasts over 500 diverse works, some of which are classified.
