Jean Camille Formigé (1845–1926) was a distinguished French architect and a prominent figure in the field of historic preservation and restoration during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Montpellier, Formigé developed a profound interest in architecture and the preservation of historical monuments from an early age. He pursued his studies at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was mentored by some of the leading architects of his time.

Formigé's career was marked by his dedication to the restoration and conservation of France's architectural heritage. He held the position of Chief Architect of Historic Monuments, a role in which he oversaw numerous significant restoration projects. Among his most notable works were the restoration of the Roman amphitheater in Arles, the medieval Château de Pierrefonds, and the Gothic church of Saint-Séverin in Paris. His approach to restoration was characterized by a meticulous attention to historical accuracy and a deep respect for the original architectural elements.

In addition to his restoration work, Formigé also contributed to the design of new structures. He was responsible for the creation of several public buildings and urban planning projects, including the design of the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais in Paris, which were constructed for the Exposition Universelle of 1900. These buildings are celebrated for their Beaux-Arts architectural style and remain iconic landmarks in the French capital.

Formigé's contributions to architecture and historic preservation were widely recognized during his lifetime. He was awarded the Legion of Honour, France's highest order of merit, in recognition of his services to the field. His legacy continues to influence contemporary practices in architectural restoration and conservation.

Jean Camille Formigé passed away in 1926, leaving behind a rich legacy of restored monuments and architectural achievements that continue to be admired and studied by architects, historians, and preservationists around the world.
