During this heritage weekend, volunteers are working to create a fountain of traditional materials with the help of ancient heritage masons and fellow heritage masons trained at the building platform. ___
Created in October 2021, the association Périgord Pierre Sèche aims to relaunch the dry stone sector throughout the Dordogne department.
It is open to all, professionals and individuals alike.
The association highlights this technique of construction without any binder, using a noble and locally widespread material, as well as the diversity of the resulting structure, among other huts, retaining walls, hollow paths, slate roofs. A building that has accompanied and improved our lives since ancient times.
Through its activities of identification, restoration or creation of built heritage, but also days of initiations and training, the association makes it possible to create a real collective drive to raise awareness and valorize this knowledge-inscribe on the list of intangible heritage of UNESCO since November 2018, thus contributing to the return to the foreground of dry stone in Périgord!
