Jacques Herbé (original) (raw)

Félix Paul Jacques Herbé (15 July 1898 – 7 March 1993) was a French architect and urban planner. Born in Reims, he was the older brother of Paul Herbé. The two siblings partnered with Robert Camelot to form a study that operated between 1933 and 1941. They made significant contributions to the city of Beaune, with varying degrees of success. The School for Young Girls they designed still stands and has been registered as a heritage site, while their 1938 outdoor auditorium was demolished in 1954 by the mayor who had commissioned it, in large part due to poor acoustics.
