| Jacques Moulinier DR |
J Moulinier acques passed away suddenly. I held this morning to pay tribute at his funeral in which he has contributed so much to our city and who had more than the estimated ...
C is with emotion that we are gathered around Jacques Moulinier. Madame Louise Mathias We share your pain this morning. I agreed this morning to say a few words to testify.
To demonstrate the quality of the commitment of Jacques. To demonstrate the depth of his humanity. To say that his faith also discreetly but deeply impressed even those who do not share. I met Jacques when I joined the council of Lyons in 1977. We sat on benches opposite, but at the time, this did not esteem, respect and even feelings of friendship.
"Lyon opened the world ..."
Jacques was passionate about his city, his city planning. He became assistant at a time when the concern was simply to build at any cost as much m² of offices, housing, but which began to emerge as the conscience of a city, it was also the emergence of a new quality the frame, a new quality of public spaces. In short, bring out the beauty in all the city. This attention to old buildings and would again be reflected, for example, by adopting this swatch façade, on the banks of the Saone would definitely give Lyon a Florentine style.
Urbanism down in detail, he seized the vicinity and at the same time, he intended to embrace the future of the city in a coherent, thinking Lyon in its entire agglomeration. It was the time where the Planning Agency created around Jacques Rigaud, with Bernard Rivalta, Maurice Charrier, Jacques Moulinier ... Guy Fischer was the founder and an actor major. Lyon opened to the world, she began to take inspiration for the major European cities and even large cities.
I remember a trip organized by the Jacques and Planning Agency, where, with Jacques Rigaud and Jean Frébault, we started to explore the cities U.S. East Coast. New York course, but also Boston and Philadelphia. This could only give the desire to project a new modernity in Lyon! And that was made with the redevelopment of downtown, the construction of the station La Part-Dieu, the Gerland around the first Ecole Normale Superieure . Lyon took a decidedly different look.
"Nothing that is human is alien to him ..."
Jacques flourished in this task he led with a desire to find the greatest similarities in a desire for dialogue with all those who were not majority. I say "Did not belong to the majority", because with him we could not really feel in opposition. Is that Jacques was a man who cultivated the nuance did not think one side was light and darkness on the other, who thought that the feelings of the human yardstick that the complexity of social issues will not satisfy diagrammatic reasoning.
In fact to quote the words of Terence: " Nothing human is alien to him ," he had shown at the end of the war Algeria. He showed with his colleagues, with the minority di board, he showed in his dialogue with the CL, this openness to others, he drew from his faith. His belief in nothing was too, was at first a belief in humanity, in the other. He always had a brother in God even if his God could be different.
And while he was in middle age, there was Madame, your way. Your presence lit up the life of Jacques. It was now closed. In memory of the trip to New York that we had together and that was for me a glare, I decided after my election to organize my first trip to this city. I naturally invites Jacques. While we walked the streets of New York, we talked about you, Mathias, Louise with tenderness, with emotion.
is these images that I keep in mind, when I speak.
Adieu Jacques! You're going to miss your family, your loved ones. You're going to miss your town too. Our commitment is that in our work we draw again and again to the vision humanist who was yours. you, you have marked your city as you have found your place in the heart of Lyon. "
