To the scaffold




The old town is full of buildings needing TLC. It is a constant race between three factors: the surprisingly damp conditions of the Mediterranean coast, the justified but still annoying attentions of the Architectes de France who decide things when it comes to listed structures, and the needs of the town to make tourist money during the season.

All this means that there is a small window of opportunity when builders have sufficiently good weather and municipal approval to put up scaffolding and carry out repairs. We are now into that season, and one of the properties sheathed in metal and nylon netting is our own.
