Each week we marvel at the incredible skills of our artisans. But we also ask ourselves, how on earth did the artisans of the 18th century construct chateaux and cathedrals of such beauty without modern technology.
So this week, while we make progress in the library, our architect Monsieur Frederic DIDIER explores exactly how Château de Purnon was constructed at the end of the 18th century.
