Summary

[edit]
Description

Horloge du Front de Maine à Angers (Maine-et-Loire).

Il s'agit de l'ancienne horloge des abattoirs.

Installé au milieu de marécages, l'abattoir de la ville est inauguré début 1847. De cet édifice, reconstruit en 1910, il ne subsiste plus que l'horloge d'entrée.

Cette étrange colonne se dresse aujourd'hui au milieu du lotissement du Front-de-Maine érigé en 2000 par l'architecte Claude Vasconi*.

Le 5 mars 2001, l’horloge est remontée avenue Yolande-d’Aragon. Face au parc de Balzac, elle rappelle la présence des anciennes activités du quartier.

L’horloge, imaginée par, Jules Blitz*, ajoute beaucoup à l'agrément des constructions.

L'horloge est contenue dans une caisse de bois juchée sur un pylône métallique. Son toit rappelle la forme des pagodes. Les quatre cadrans de l'horloge sont éclairés de nuit et sont devenus électroniques.


  • Claude Vasconi(1940 - 2009). Architecte et urbaniste français, on lui doit, entre autres, le Forum des Halles, à Paris et le "57 Métal" à Boulogne Billancourt, construit pour Renault. Le "57 Métal" revendu à un fond d'investissement anglais est menacé de destruction pour des "raisons sanitaires" (pollution par trichloréthylène, dichloroéthylène, chlorure de vinyle…).
  • Né au Mans en 1868, Jules Blitz sortit en 1888 de l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts. En 1904, devenu architecte parisien, il remporta le concours pour la construction de nouveaux abattoirs à Angers, qui furent inaugurés en 1910.
