Quelles formes prend au XIXe siècle la villégiature dans les proches abords d’une ville de taille moyenne comme Angers ? Le sujet est particulièrement riche durant cette période de forte urbanisation où s’interpénètrent une campagne de proximité avec son héritage patrimonial et les quartiers suburbains, nouveaux espaces « résidentiels ». La frontière mouvante entre espace rural et urbain, comme la notion floue et évolutive de temporalité qui met à mal la distinction entre résidences permanentes et temporaires, rejoint les désirs de nature du citadin ou de confort moderne du châtelain bien analysés par le théoricien Daly. Ce phénomène sociétal se traduit par des expressions architecturales souvent ambivalentes, que différencie surtout la relation au lieu. Du front urbain au chemin rural, du jardin paysager miniature au parc domanial, le paramètre contextuel est évidemment déterminant dans l’appréhension d’une villégiature de bord de ville.
What are the forms of countryside retreat during the nineteenth century in the immediate vicinity of a medium-sized town such as Angers? The subject is a remarkably stimulating one during this period which saw the expansion of the town into the surrounding countryside where an existing heritage of country houses was now joined by new ‘residential’ spaces of suburban neighbourhoods. The fluctuating frontier between urban and rural space, along with evolving notions of the occupation of time, making the distinction between a permanent and a holiday residence uncertain, find an echo in the theories of Daly about the town-based desires for modern comfort shared by the class of country house owners. The societal phenomenon finds expression in architectural terms which is often ambivalent, producing differences in relation to specific places. From the urban street front to the rural lane, from the miniature landscaped garden to the estate park, contextual parameters are clearly paramount in understanding the ways of staying in the country in the vicinity of the town
