'Madame Just-Détrey' rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:
[From "Memoires lus à la Sorbonne", 1866, p. 317:] Mme Just Détrey, née Hérard, fille du principal adjudicataire, a eu l'immense mérite de considérer le palais Granvelle comme un dépôt sacré dont elle devait compte à ses concitoyens. Ayant résisté à toutes les offres de la spéculation privée pour conserver intact ce bel édifice, elle voulut un jour rendre sa succession liquide et vint elle-même proposer à la ville de reprendre son ancienne propriété pour la somme de 350,000 francs. Le maire de Besançon, M. Clerc de Landresse, en homme de goût et d'intelligence, fit bon accueil à l'offre de M” Détrey, et en suite d'un vote favorable du conseil municipal. la ville fut autorisée, par une loi du 2 mai 1864, à réaliser cette acquisition et à en payer le prix en vingt annuités successives‘.
i.e. Mme. Just-Détrey, Born Hérard, wife of the banker Just-Détrey of Besançon sells the Palais Granvelle in 1864 for 350'000 Francs to the town, payable in 20 annuities.
