Horizons Vendeens

The gites-to-be are located in the outbuildings of the Logis du Puy Papin, listed by the Bâtiments de France. Indeed, before the road have divided the domain into several parts, these buildings -built in the 16° Century- will not be able to find their initial functions, but will be restored by keeping the original nature of the listed edifice. Consequently, this restoration needs administrative archives -piece of the plan cadastral napoléonnien, for instance- the help from Mr. Arnauld Delacroix (landscape architect) and of course with the help of the architect in the Bâtiments de France -ABF- in Vendée. Because of the listing of this Logis du Puy Papin, any change and modification for our buildings should have before the agreement from the ABF, in addition to this from the town council in Pouzauges.
These requirements remain restricting with the reply deadlines from the public services and the feeling that this project can be beyond us: actually, our criteria seem sometimes to be so far from the architectural restraints from the public services.

Moreover, these restraints could also appear thwarting for our project because the “Logis”-although listed- is unoccupied and has been neglected for years. If you know something about the owner of this Logis du Puy Papin, do not hesitate to give me his/her name and most all, to insist on him/her to restore the buildings and to do up like new, at least in order to improve the surroundings of the place and most of all to avoid that this Logis finally falls down and that shatters ours efforts!
