Our credentialsCentre des Monuments Nationaux Redesign and hosting of the internet and intranet portals
Centre des monuments nationaux
Public institution under the supervision of the French Ministry of Culture
The French Centre of National Monuments manages nearly 100 monuments (including the Arc de triomphe, the Mont-Saint-Michel, the castle and the ramparts at Carcassonne). Its principal goals are to showcase, manage, animate, and open to the public all of the national monuments.
The challenge
To reinforce the digital strategy by modernising the different tools used. To bring solid technical expertise to automate the creation of internet sites for the 100 monuments. To guarantee the partner autonomy and continuous management of the solution developed.
The offered solution
To respond to this challenge the CMN gave Actimage the task of implementing a new technological foundation, from the architectural and technical thinking to the implementation and hosting, as well as the permanent development of this foundation to meet new digital challenges.
Our expertise in response to needs
The project, led following the Agile method, consists of:
- Video zone: video testimonies posted by web users
- Historical timeline: example opposite for the Pantheon's “4 lives in resistance” exhibit
- Rise in social network flow: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram
- Contextual display of the monuments’ opening hours
Actimage and the CMN have been partners on the project since 2014 and are still continuing to develop new functionalities for the galaxy today.
A range of objectives
This galaxy includes:
- The intranet portal for the 1,400 associates, spread across France
- The institutional internet portal
- The themed and professional sites, for example the press space or online donations
- The website factory so that each monument has its own space on the internet. By way of example: Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, the Sainte-Chapelle or also the Villa Cavrois

A galaxy of nearly one hundred websites, an intranet, innovative functionalities... This project is a major challenge for the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, because these sites represent the window onto all of the monuments, and to the centre itself. This project has provided the chance to implement our technical expertise and our methodological and organisational know-how.
