For several years now, the association has been actively committed to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage, supporting the restoration of major works and projects aimed at making them accessible to the public at the Villa du Temps retrouvé.

In 2023, the association co-funded the restoration of the painting Portrait of Jacques-Émile Blanche by John Singer Sargent. Following its restoration, the work was exhibited at the Villa du Temps retrouvé before returning to its place in the collections of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen.

In 2024, the association continued its work by co-funding the restoration of Gaston La Touche’s work Au théâtre. The work was displayed in the Parcours Belle Époque during the 2024 season before returning to the collections of the Évreux Museum of Art, History and Archaeology. In the same year, the association also contributed to the creation of the exhibition-dossier Les épis de faîtage de la Côte Fleurie, notably through the acquisition of display cases to better showcase this architectural heritage.

In 2025, the association supported the restoration of the pastel portraits of Jean-Joseph Pasteur and Jeanne-Étiennette Pasteur, parents of the scientist Louis Pasteur, as well as the Portrait of Cécile Pasteur by Auguste Leloir. These works were displayed in the temporary exhibition Louis Pasteur, the Art of Science, before joining the collections of the Pasteur Museum at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.

In 2026, the association supported the restoration of Eugène Boudin’s La Seine à Rouen, a work from the Jean Faure Collection at the Musée Faure in Aix-les-Bains. The painting is on display until 11 November 2026 in the Parcours Belle Époque. Furthermore, the association is committed to promoting cultural accessibility by helping to fund audio guides designed to assist visitors in the Architecture Pavilion.
