Abstract (in English)
French monumental heritage has so far been the subject of little research concerning its future behavior towards the current climate change on our planet. The phenomena resulting from the increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the Earth atmosphere and which can have consequences for the tangible cultural heritage are first described: increase in temperatures, humidity and precipitation, increase in ocean level. Their foreseeable impacts on the cultural heritage are summarized in two main tables, distinguishing between events with slow onset and those with rapid and violent onset in extreme situations. The results obtained by French researchers who have invested in this issue, as well as other extrapolated research on a European scale, are presented, in particular those concerning the facades of monuments, old stained glass windows, the crystallization of salts in porous walls, river floods and low water, coastal archaeological sites. On the other hand, important subjects have not been discussed on French heritage: the predictable behavior of metals, the effects of freeze-thaw on porous materials, the stability of buildings on clay soils, the indoor climate of museums, libraries and the collections they house, the carbon impact of French cultural heritage. A French strategy for adapting to the impacts of climate change on tangible cultural heritage concerning basic and applied research, education and training, the financements and the economy is suggested in conclusion.

Le patrimoine monumental français n’a fait à ce jour l’objet que de peu de recherches concernant son comportement futur face au dérèglement climatique en cours sur notre planète. Les phénomènes consécutifs à l’augmentation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans l’atmosphère terrestre et pouvant avoir des conséquences pour le patrimoine culturel matériel sont d’abord décrits : augmentation des températures, de l’humidité et des précipitations, hausse du niveau des océans. Leurs impacts prévisibles sur le patrimoine culturel sont résumés dans deux grands tableaux, en distinguant les évènements à survenue lente de ceux qui ont une survenue rapide et violente en situation extrême. Les résultats obtenus par les chercheurs français qui se sont investis dans cette problématique, ainsi que d’autres extrapolés de recherches à l’échelle européenne, sont présentés, en particulier ceux qui concernent les façades des monuments, les vitraux anciens, la cristallisation des sels dans les murs poreux, les crues fluviales et les étiages, les sites archéologiques côtiers. En revanche, des sujets importants n’ont pas été abordés sur le patrimoine français : le comportement prévisible des métaux, les effets du gel-dégel sur les matériaux poreux, la stabilité des édifices sur sols argileux, le climat intérieur des musées, des bibliothèques et des collections qu’ils abritent, l’impact carbone du patrimoine culturel français. Une stratégie française d’adaptation aux impacts du changement climatique sur le patrimoine culturel matériel concernant la recherche fondamentale et appliquée, l’enseignement et la formation, les financements et l’économie, est suggérée en conclusion.
