This past July 5 and 6, I had the great honor of visiting Marshal Lyautey’s château in Lorraine. Resident-General of France in Morocco (1912–1925), Lyautey was not only a statesman, but also a passionate admirer of Moroccan art and culture. His château houses an extraordinary collection of Moroccan artifacts, books, and personal objects — a rare and powerful testimony to a century-old relationship between France and Morocco.

This unique heritage is now in the care of the Fondation Lyautey, a small group of passionate volunteers working to preserve both the château and its remarkable collections.But this legacy is fragile — and needs greater visibility and support.

If you believe in the importance of protecting cultural heritage and honoring shared history, I invite you to discover and support the work of the Fondation Lyautey: https://lyautey.fr/fondation/
