Léon Vaudoyer

With his contemporaries Félix Duban, Henri Labrouste, and Louis Duc he became a leading light in architectural circles in the 1830s.

In 1838 he won the design competition for the hôtel de ville in Avignon (unrealized), and from 1845 onwards he (with Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet) enlarged the buildings of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs (now the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers).

In 1852 he was given responsibility for reconstructing the Sorbonne (unrealized), and also for designing the polychrome Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure in Marseille.

[1][2] [3] Juste Lisch and Edmond Paulin were among his students.
