| The roof of the house when we bought it, with its cedar beams and tiles imported from Marseille on sail or steam ships in the late 19 th century. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The walls were 50 cm thick, made of stone. The mortar had washed away in quite a few places, and we were told by our architect that we would have to render the whole house because of planning regulation. this was not true, and I regret somehow today the old stone walls now hidden behind the ciment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
