Wilko Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks for posting the link P2..........brilliant idea.Theiere...........were you joking ???W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yes joking [:)]But when you consider how many very traditional houses there are in France that require work to restore them why waste time and money building a new one that just looks old?

PaulT Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 In the UK it is the restoration of Cathedrals that keep certain ancient skills alive. I would think that building a new old place will develop every skill that might be required.In my opinion perhaps a more worthwhile project than the UK Millenium DomePaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I think the point is that these people are patrons of the arts...............they are providing work and it may well turn out to be a tourist attraction...........it may well have already. P2 a great deal more sensible than the Dome.........a monument to politicians trying to play in the big ball park...............and they run the country ............the mind boggles.Hot as hell here..........not complaining.rgdsWilko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 We visited this site a few years ago and it is facinating. The artisans are always ready to answer questions and explain what they are doing. All the 'ancillary' trades around as well so you find out how the workers were fed and clothed.What better way to see history in action and to inspire youngsters to take an interest in history than to see it with your own eyes.
