Chaîne d’Angle, where Bourgogne’s corners get their own geometry
A Beaune-area masonry workshop focused specifically on designing, cutting, and laying Bourgogne-stone corner chains.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the work around a corner-chain calepin: each stone receives a position, alternating long and short pieces while keeping vertical joints from repeating in the same plane. Its examples include a 1:50 Flavigny drawing, a 90-degree check at every course, and sample panneresse and boutisse dimensions of 0.42 and 0.28. The page also distinguishes stone selection by grain, frost resistance, and bedding, then connects those choices to mortar setting and correction of plumb during installation.
