Résumé
Le French Market à la Nouvelle-Orléans présente aux touristes contemporains qui se promènent dans le Vieux Carré une vision de la restauration à l’américaine. Derrière ces conceptions aménagistes se cachent également des significations imaginaires inspirées du passé qui entrent dans le champ du présent. La période du New Deal est très importante pour la transformation du French Market. Le discours général des années 1930 est un moment de légitimation d’une action urbanistique qui a entraîné la destruction d’une partie d’un site authentique et le gommage pur et simple d’un morceau de la trame urbaine. Le milieu d’affaires louisianais a exploité la manne touristique créée et entretenue par les Faiseurs d’Images du XIXe siècle, ces différents rédacteurs de guides, romanciers et mémorialistes. Ainsi, le marché français est censé représenter un style de vie à la française, sur un espace profondément modifié et bien différent de celui des origines.
Résumé
The French Market in New Orleans presents a vision of an American style restoration to contemporary tourists taking a walk in the Old Quarter. Hiding behind these notions of planning are imaginary meanings inspired by the past that enter into the field of the present. The New Deal period is very important for the transformation of the French Market. The general discourse of the 1930s is a legitimating moment of an urban action that brought on the destruction of part of an authentic site and the pure and simple erasure of a piece of the urban framework. The centre of Louisiana affairs exploited the tourist manna created and maintained by the Image Makers of the nineteenth century, creators of guides, memoirs and novels. Also, the French Market is supposed to represent a style that reflects French life on a space that is profoundly modified and very different from the original.
