They are not using the usual company that does historic monuments repairs. I spoke to one of the masons there, but he wasn't French so with both of us speaking a second language poorly we didn't get too far. The masons I know who do this sort of historic restoration are complaining about the quality of the stone currently available. Apparently a large company has bought out all the little quarries and closed them down. The price of stone is thus pushed up and the quality is whatever they choose to provide - at the moment I understand it comes from Chateauroux and is expected to have a lifespan of about 50 years. Work for their grandsons guaranteed is how the masons see it, with a shrug. One of the guys who was retiling one of the barns a few months ago is the husband of a friend of ours, so he may be able to shed some light.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
