Anne Bricollet was a French painter and pastellist active between 1786 and 1797.
Bricollet is known only from two works. The earliest is a Pietà in oil, signed and dated 1785 and located in Bourg-en-Bresse Cathedral. [1] The other is a pastel portrait of Marie-Claude-Clémence Martin, later the wife of deputy Louis Sirand; this piece is signed on the back as being by "Mlle Bricollet", and described as having been finished on April 23, 1797. Nothing further is recorded of Bricollet, but a woman named Anne-Henriette Bricollet is known to have died in Bourg-en-Bresse in 1833. [2]

The Haut-Bugey line is a railway line in France. It is 65 kilometres in length and connects Bourg-en-Bresse with Bellegarde, travelling through the Jura Mountains. For a century and a quarter after its opening in 1877, it was a local line only, and with steep grades, tight curves, and a long poorly ventilated tunnel, it was a challenging line to operate. It suffered a gradual decline, until in 2006 it had a new lease of life as its renovation was chosen as the most cost-effective way to shorten the journey time from Paris to Geneva. The line was closed in 2006 for complete reconstruction and electrification. The upgraded line was inaugurated on 2 December 2010 featuring 25 kV AC electrification, replacement of 18 level-crossings with bridges, avalanche protection and daylighting a tunnel. Today the line enables a faster link between the French TGV network and Geneva, giving a Paris to Geneva journey time of just over three hours.
