Auguste Lafollye

[3] Working under the direction of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, Lafollye was responsible for restoring the rich statuary of the 16th century Hôtel de Ville at Compiègne, which had been vandalized during the revolution.

[8] In 1870 he was awarded a medal of honor at the Salon for the design of the church of Notre-Dame at Oloron, and his drawings of the restoration of the Château de Pau.

[8] Napoleon III had assigned the task of restoring the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye to Eugène Millet, who started the work in 1862.

His goal, and that of his successor Honoré Daumet, was to restore the French Renaissance style of Francis I.

[13] Lafollye published works about other historical buildings, including the Château de Compiègne and the Chateau of Saint-Germain.
