About: Venance Payot

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Venance Payot (June 26, 1826 – March 13, 1902) was a naturalist, glaciologist, alpine mountain-guide, scholar, author, and two-time mayor of Chamonix, France. He published a wide range of early scientific literature relating to the mountains of the Mont Blanc massif and undertook some of the earliest continued measurements of the movement of glaciers within that mountain range. He has been posthumously credited in mountaineering literature with being the youngest person (as of 1843) to have climbed Mont Blanc, and would have been sixteen years old at the time; other sources have challenged this.

dbo:abstract
  • Venance Payot, né le 26 juin 1826 à Chamonix où il est mort le 13 mars 1902, est un naturaliste savoyard. Guide, collectionneur, érudit, éditeur, marchand, élu local : Venance Payot a été tout cela ; mais le qualificatif que lui-même emploie le plus volontiers à son égard est « naturaliste à Chamonix » et c’est sans doute celui qui le caractérise le mieux. Ses multiples activités révèlent son caractère éclectique, ainsi que son aptitude à tirer profit du monde qui l’entoure ; il faut souligner qu’elles ont toutes un lien avec la faune, la flore et la minéralogie de la vallée du Mont-Blanc. L’étude des Sciences naturelles, sa principale passion, va le mener à concevoir une riche collection naturaliste dont il aura le souci de faire don avant sa mort, au musée et à la bibliothèque de la ville d’Annecy.
