The Maison Carrée is an ancient building in Nîmes, southern France; it is one of the best preserved Roman temple façades to be found in the territory of the former Roman Empire. In about 4-7 AD, the Maison carrée was dedicated or rededicated to Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, grandsons and adopted heirs of Augustus who both died young. The inscription dedicating the temple to Gaius and Lucius was removed in medieval times. However, a local scholar, Jean-François Séguier, was able to reconstruct the inscription in 1758 from the order and number of the holes on the front frieze and architrave, to which the bronze letters had been affixed by projecting tines.
According to Séguier's reconstruction, the text of the dedication read (in translation): To Gaius Caesar, son of Augustus, Consul; to Lucius Caesar, son of Augustus, Consul designate; to the princes of youth. During the 19th century the temple slowly began to recover its original splendour, due to the efforts of Victor Grangent.
The Maison Carrée is an example of Vitruvian architecture. Raised on a 2.85 m high podium, the temple dominated the forum of the Roman city, forming a rectangle almost twice as long as it is wide, measuring 26.42 m by 13.54 m. The façade is dominated by a deep portico or pronaos almost a third of the building's length. It is a hexastyle design with six Corinthian columns under the pediment at either end, and pseudoperipteral in that twenty engaged columns are embedded along the walls of the cella. Above the columns, the architrave is divided by two recessed rows of petrified water drips into three levels with ratios of 1:2:3. Egg-and-dart decoration divides the architrave from the frieze. On three sides the frieze is decorated with fine ornamental relief carvings of rosettes and acanthus leaves beneath a row of very fine dentils.
A large door (6.87 m high by 3.27 m wide) leads to the surprisingly small and windowless interior, where the shrine was originally housed. This is now used to house a tourist oriented film on the Roman history of Nîmes. No ancient decoration remains inside the cella.
The building has undergone extensive restoration over the centuries. Until the 19th century, it formed part of a larger complex of adjoining buildings. These were demolished when the Maison Carrée housed what is now the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes (from 1821 to 1907), restoring it to the isolation it would have enjoyed in Roman times. The pronaos was restored in the early part of the 19th century when a new ceiling was provided, designed in the Roman style. The present door was made in 1824.
It underwent a further restoration between 1988–1992, during which time it was re-roofed and the square around it was cleared, revealing the outlines of the forum. Sir Norman Foster was commissioned to build a modern art gallery and public library, known as the Carré d'Art, on the far side of the square, to replace the city theater of Nîmes, which had burnt in 1952. This provides a startling contrast to the Maison Carrée but renders many of its features, such as the portico and columns, in steel and glass. The contrast of its modernity is thus muted by the physical resemblance between the two buildings, representing architectural styles 2000 years apart.
The Maison Carrée inspired the neoclassical Église de la Madeleine in Paris, St. Marcellinus Church in Rogalin, Poland, and in the United States the Virginia State Capitol, which was designed by Thomas Jefferson, who had a stucco model made of the Maison Carrée while he was minister to France in 1785

La Maison Carrée (Nîmes - Gard - France)
(F) La Maison Carrée est un temple romain hexastyle édifié au début du ier siècle à Nîmes, dans le Gard.
Lors de sa construction, la Maison Carrée est dédiée par Auguste à la gloire de ses deux petits-fils : les consuls et chefs militaires Lucius Caesar et Caius Julius Caesar. Au fil des siècles, le temple est notamment devenu une maison consulaire, une église puis un musée des arts antiques. Il s'agit aujourd'hui d'un des temples romains les mieux conservés au monde. La Maison Carrée fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 1840.
(EN) The Maison Carrée is an ancient building in Nîmes, southern France; it is one of the best preserved temples to be found anywhere in the territory of the former Roman Empire.It was built c. 16 BC, and reconstructed in the following years, by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, who was also the original patron of the Pantheon in Rome, and was dedicated or rededicated c. 2-4/5 AD to his two sons, Gaius Caesar and Lucius Caesar, adopted heirs of Augustus who both died young. The inscription dedicating the temple to Gaius and Lucius was removed in medieval times. However, a local scholar, Jean-François Séguier, was able to reconstruct the inscription in 1758 from the order and number of the holes in the portico's facade, to which the bronze letters had been affixed by projecting tines. According to Séguier's reconstruction, the text of the dedication read (in translation): To Gaius Caesar, son of Augustus, Consul; to Lucius Caesar, son of Augustus, Consul designate; to the princes of youth.
The temple owes its preservation to the fact that it was rededicated as a Christian church in the fourth century, saving it from the widespread destruction of temples that followed the adoption of Christianity as Rome's official state religion. It subsequently became a meeting hall for the city's consuls, a canon's house, a stable for government-owned horses during the French Revolution and a storehouse for the city archives. It became a museum after 1823. Its French name derives from the archaic term carré long, literally meaning a long square, or oblong - a reference to the building's shape.

During the 19th century the theatre slowly began to recover its original splendour, due to the efforts of Prosper Mérimée, who then held the position of director of Monuments Historiques. Under his direction, restoration work began in 1825 and in 1869 the theatre became the home of a Roman Festival which celebrated the glory of Rome and included a performance of Méhul's opera, Joseph. In the latter part of the century, all the major players of the French classical stage appeared in the Orange festivals, including Sarah Bernhardt who played Phèdre in 1903. Maison Carrée is an example of Vitruvian architecture. Raised on a 2.85 m high podium, the temple dominated the forum of the Roman city, forming a rectangle almost twice as long as it is wide, measuring 26.42 m by 13.54 m.

님에는 로마의 유적이 꽤 많이 남아 있다. 완벽한 균형미를 자랑하는 정사각형 건물인 이 까레 신전은 기원전 16년에 세워졌다고 한다. 도시의 중앙광장 옆에는 높이가 21m나 되는 로마의 원형경기장이 옛 모습을 그대로 간직한 채 서 있다. 아직도 여름철이면 이곳에서 투우경기가 열린다고 한다. 계단을 따라 꼭대기에 올라서자 거대한 타원형 경기장이 그 모습을 드러낸다. 길이 133m 폭 101m인 크기에 수용인원은 2만 명이란다. 엄청난 규모에 놀라고 있는데, 이곳을 찾는 여행객들이 모두 전화를 하고 있다. 무슨 일인지 알아보니 전화로 오디오가이드 안내를 받는 중이라고 한다. 청각과 시각을 모두 동원해도 로마인들의 건축술을 느끼기에는 부족해 보인다.

39. Maison Carrée, Nîmes
The Maison Carrée at Nîmes is one of the best-preserved Roman temples. Built in what is now the South of France, the Maison Carrée documents the artistic exchange between Rome and the provinces in the age of Augustus. Similarities between the Corinthian capitals of the Maison Carrée (A.D. 5) and those of the Temple of Mars Ultor in Rome (2 B.C.) suggest that the same architectural firm that completed the temple in Rome was hired for the commission in France, verifying the existence of traveling workshops in Roman antiquity.

Tourisme en France-Nîmes La maison carrée et la carré d'art
La maison carrée une des monuments historiques de la ville de Nîmes.
NIMES : les Arènes - La Maison Carrée - La Tour Magne - Le Pont du Gard
La fondation de Nîmes remonte à l'Antiquité. De la période romaine, Nîmes conserve de remarquables et exceptionnels monuments tels que les Arènes, la Maison Carrée ou encore la Tour Magne au pied de laquelle se situe le splendide sanctuaire de la Fontaine. Ce riche passé antique lui vaut le surnom de « Rome française ». Ville à la fois romaine et hispanique, camarguaise, cévenole, à la fois languedocienne et provençale culturellement, fief protestant historique depuis le XVIe siècle, elle s'enorgueillit d'une culture et d'une histoire particulièrement riches et reste une ville à forte identité. Son patrimoine historique et culturel ainsi que la valorisation de son architecture courant de l'époque romaine au XXe siècle a permis à la ville d'obtenir le label de Ville d'art et d'histoire.

► France Miniature n°26 - Maison carrée de Nîmes (Gard)
France Miniature est un parc situé près de Paris, à Élancourt dans les Yvelines, ouvert depuis 1991. 116 monuments et sites français y sont reproduits en miniature, à l'échelle 1/30e sur un espace de cinq hectares aménagé en forme de carte de France avec des bassins aux emplacements des mers et océans qui bordent l'Hexagone ainsi qu'une île de Corse (dont la distance aux « côtes » de la France miniature ne respecte pas l'échelle).
Le parc est sillonné par de nombreuses voies ferrées miniatures sur lesquelles circulent des trains composés de maquettes reproduisant des matériels SNCF (TGV, trains Corail...)
Depuis 2004, le parc est doté d'une zone d'attractions en libre-service réservée aux jeunes enfants. Les différentes activités ont été installées par la société allemande Heege Freizeittechnik. La conception de la zone et la scénographie sont de Jean-Marc Toussaint.
Une visite ludique et culturelle de l'ensemble du patrimoine français nous est donc proposée en miniature. Les attractions permettront de ravir les enfants et les petits enfants.
