Jacques-Marie Huvé

Jean-Jacques-Marie Huvé (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ ʒak maʁi yve]; 28 April 1783, Versailles – 23 November 1852, Paris) was a French architect who practiced in Paris, working in a neoclassical manner that he refined working in the atelier of Percier and Fontaine, Napoleon's chief architects.

He was the son of the architect, Jean-Jacques Huvé, from whom he received his earliest instruction.

His tenacity finally pressed the government to release the funding that permitted the church to be completed in 1842.

He was appointed architect of the Royal Mails, was admitted a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (the Institut de France's architecture, music, and fine arts section) and served as president of the Société des Beaux-Arts.

As a teacher, he trained renowned architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in his studio.
