Eglise St-Nizier

Built in the 14th century, Saint-Nizier church in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement is a major building in the flamboyant gothic style and a historic parish church for the city's merchantes and bourgeoisie. It has been protected as a Historic Monument since the first list was drawn up in 1840.
Since the 1970s, extensive work has been carried out on the roof enclosure, nave and transepts to ensure the conservation and enhancement of this exceptional heritage.

Villa Bonaparte - Book

This book presents the history of Villa Bonaparte in Rome, its architectural part, the technical and human adventure of the restoration as well as the portraits of restorers with exceptional know-how. The historian Sebastiano Roberto makes assumptions about the probable architect who designed this villa in 1749 for Cardinal Gonzaga. Didier Repellin and Sixte Doussau, in charge of this restoration, present the technical and aesthetic components of a building imprinted with a refined and precursor classicism, and reveal the stakes of this restoration site.
