Founded in 1988 by Marie Hélène de La Forest Divonne, Galerie Vieille du Temple became Galerie La Forest Divonne in 2015, when it moved to the emblematic rue des Beaux-Arts in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In 2016, she opened a second space in Brussels, run by her son Jean de Malherbe, previously Head of Development at the Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais. Two generations of gallery owners defend an independent line of international artists, in all contemporary artistic practices.

The gallery presents a dozen exhibitions each year between its two spaces and participates in numerous fairs, notably in France, Belgium and the United States.
