An association near Bordeaux is taking on the challenge of building a Romanesque chapel, a cloister, and a Gothic cathedral-like structure using medieval techniques, all over an estimated time span of 40 years.
00:23So here we are going to build the chapel of the 11th century.
00:27Then we will build a temple with different galleries and bâtiments,
00:32as if it were a priori of the 11th century.
00:36And in a second time, the great Gothic edifice,
00:40which will resemble the cathedral of this time.
00:48We will tell 300-400 years of evolution of architecture
00:52in 40 years.
00:54It's difficult to give an exact duration.
00:57We imagine for 40 years it would be maybe 50.
01:00We work with the ancient techniques,
01:03we do everything ourselves, so it's difficult to give an exact duration.
01:06We are going to build a 7 mètres to the top of the chapel.
01:15For the building, we're going to go up to 7 meters at the top of the chapel, so it's very interesting to renew with very simple gestures, but also find the method and the spirit.
01:36Because the method, the technique, we have in fact.
01:39But finding the spirit of the builders of this era, who are also in search, in redécouverts of this construction, it's pretty passionate.
