Provence has become one of the regions of the world with the most evocative images: hilltop ruins, fields of vineyards and limestone hills, towns and villages offering beauty and harmony, a special rhythm where you take the time to enjoy life, and a warmth both in the feel of the region and its architecture, and in its inhabitants.

The typical architecture of Provence is, however, disappearing quickly, since the techniques used to build it have become practically extinct. The beauty of the villages, the wonderful harmony of the houses, the warm feel of the simple stone walls, are losing place to modern construction and urban techniques.

La Sabranenque works toward the preservation of this unique architecture, through the restoration and reconstruction of typical structures and sites, and through the maintenance of the building methods themselves, since volunteer participants rebuild them as they were always built, by using the local materials, and adapting them with manual human-scale techniques, to their future uses.
