Trait de Chaux, for walls that remember how they were built
A Tours-based specialist resource helping artisans and owners choose compatible stone, lime, wood, and renders for historic buildings.
Field notes
The site organizes restoration advice around the behavior of existing walls rather than a generic product catalog. Its method identifies supports, binders, prior alterations, and water paths before recommending a more flexible covering, with testing on a visible area before wider use. The material directory has four entries—older materials, lime and renders, stone, and wood—and the business identifies itself at 6 rue du Lavoir in Tours, open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00.
