Abstract
The pedagogical experiences that took place in the years of the French Revolution laid the foundations for the creation of new educational institutions with the aim of training a generation of teachers prepared and attentive to new teaching methods. In 1810, thanks to the initiative of the prefect Adrien de Lezay-Marnésia, an upholder of the dignity of the civil service and a catalyst for Austro-German pedagogical innovations, the normal school of Strasbourg came to life. From the Rhine border, this became the model for subsequent foundations in the Kingdom of France.
